Hiring Manager
Studio Mast

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Graphic Designer position at Studio Mast. I have seven years of experience across brand, digital, and print, and Studio Mast’s portfolio of considered, systems-led work is the kind of environment where I do my best.

At Foundry Creative I have designed brand identities for more than 30 clients, from logo systems to full guidelines. My redesign of email and ad creative lifted average click-through rates by 35%, and I built a reusable component library that cut asset turnaround time by 40%.

I think about design as a system, not a one-off — that is how I keep quality high while moving quickly. You can see the work in my portfolio (linked on my resume), and I would be glad to walk through the thinking behind any piece.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I could contribute to Studio Mast. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Sofia Almeida
