Dear Miss/Sir,

I am writing this letter in order to apply for the Senior Industrial Design opening. I am an experienced multidisciplinary designer looking for the next challenge in my career and as I am very intrigued by your company I decided to apply via this email.

My work as a designer has always been towards achieving the highest standards, including all the steps in the process of achieving this (from analyzes, ideation, sketching, 3D, rendering and interaction outlook to final product and cost control). Next to this I have a great passion in designing with a focus on human orientation and the understanding and defining of the fundamental drivers for consumers in order to achieve a higher quality product that you can find in some of my theoretical work.

As I hope you can see in my portfolio I believe that I would be a added value in your team as I'm creative, passionate and dedicated to my craft.

I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards,
Andre Fangueiro
