Hello!
Nice to meet you, Instagram :)
I’d like to apply for the open Communications Designer, Iconography & Illustration role. I believe my skill set matches your requirements for this role, as ideating, designing and producing creative projects has always been my passion throughout my professional career so far.
A bit of my story: I am originally from Colombia and over the last decade have spent time studying and working in Germany and Spain, and have been permanently based in California since 2020. To date, my professional career has been split between creative design and event production within the non-profit and social impact world. My experience has focused on projects that give back, embrace change, and have innovation at the heart of it and I believe Instagram is a platform where these three elements are permanently present.
From a design lens, I’m trained on software such as the Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), confident with Art Direction, Graphic and Branding Design and some Motion/3D skills. My creative journey has given me the opportunity to collaborate and design amazing projects such as Barcelona Christmas blood donation visual system as well as directing branding projects from scratch. Through my professional journey as a visual designer and content creator I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with brands such as Urban Decay/L’oreal and impactful organizations such as Greenpeace. From a production perspective, my skill set spans curating events, managing projects timelines and co-ordinating teams and objectives in order to drive success and efficient results.
I feel I have the transferrable skills to be a highly effective Communications Designer, Iconography & Illustration within your team and am excited by your company. I am a daily user of Instagram with two active profiles and I deeply believe that it is a platform that has greatly impacted my life, helping me to feel closer to my loved ones, also to feel empowered to share my perspective of things and finally helps me to explore the world and reality in a way I never imagined possible. My creative background, persistence and self-confidence have given me the ability to be extremely resourceful and efficient with designing and producing creative projects, collaborative environments, overseeing processes and goals, making colleagues feel important and valued, promoting and raising everyone’s voice, ideas and opinions to build the connections needed to enhance collaboration. I’d love the chance to talk to you and find out more about this opportunity, and hope to be considered for this role.
Sincerely,
Valeria.
