Hi, I’m Meredith.

I am a marketer, designer, and communications specialist. I recently applied to 16:Fifteen for the position of Graphic Designer and would love to connect further.

 
 

Cover Letter

Hello 16:Fifteen,

I am an experienced designer who takes the initiative on projects, comes up with creative solutions, and has a background working within agencies and churches. My family recently moved back to the Lynchburg area where I am pursuing a career that is focused on supporting churches and nonprofits in creative services. After seeing a local opportunity for a graphic designer position to support churches, I simply had to apply.

Previous experience shows that I have consistently created original designs for church sermon series, events, capital campaigns, summer camps, internal ministries, missionaries, and more. I have also worked in many print and digital forms of marketing. This includes printed booklets, posters, large signage, social media campaigns, websites, and email campaigns.

Since I have worked for churches, agencies, and startups, I am accustomed to fast turnaround times and last-minute projects – especially around Easter and Christmas, or other launch events. I am also familiar with what a project needs and how to support ministries best. I have project management and client relations skills to help clients to plan ahead for projects and manage their projects from concept to completion.

I would be honored to connect with you further about how I could best serve your team and your clients. You can review my portfolio at meredithgaston.me/16Fifteen.

Thank you for the opportunity. You can reach me at (919) 412-8719 or meredith@gastoncreative.com. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Very respectfully, 

Meredith Gaston
