To Whom It May Concern:

For the past seven years I have been working as the head design consultant for the lighting firm Chroma Lighting. The projects undertaken have been throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland of which, some of the projects I have been involved in have been major iconic buildings such as Ulster Hall, Grand Opera House, Guild Hall Derry (European City of Culture 2013), Award Winning Radisson SAS Dublin (Build and Design Award) and Belfast, and Award winning Craigavon Area Hospital Trauma and Orthopaedic Unit and many more. I am strong and confident in my ability and willingness to work on own initiative and as an integrated part of a team as well as a team leader. I am motivated and enthusiastic and enjoy helping others were I can. I am keen to learn and have enthusiasm to further my career in design.



I feel confident in undertaking a project from the early stages of sketched and marker rendered drawings with a strong creative ability in producing 3D images with the use of cobalt and Solidworks, also I am confident in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for presentation skills and finishes. I am confident using CAD programs which include Graphite, Freehand, Cobalt and AutoCAD, Dialux and Relux which as a design engineer the majority of my job was based around. I am also confident in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.



I am incredibly ambitious to not only excel myself but the company in which I work always trying to find new innovations to enhance performance or efficiency to get the best possible services to the client/ end user.



I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the job vacancy with you on the telephone or at an interview. I can be contacted most easily on my mobile telephone or by e-mail.

Yours faithfully,
