Dear [Hiring manager's name],
Over a 10-week summer internship at Fernbank Creative Co., I designed social graphics and email banners for 6 client accounts, building roughly 15 finished assets a week once I learned the brand systems. I am applying to [Company name]'s Graphic Design Intern opening because I want a second internship that pushes further into brand identity work, not just campaign execution.
A social template set I built for one client cut that account's weekly design turnaround from two days to same-day, and my supervisor had me train the next intern on our brand guidelines before my internship ended. I also maintain a 3.8 GPA in my graphic design program while taking on freelance flyer and logo work for two student organizations.
I work in Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma, and I learned InDesign well enough during my internship to lay out a 12-page client lookbook mostly on my own. I take direction well in fast turnaround situations and ask clarifying questions upfront instead of guessing at a vague brief.
I would love to bring that template-building habit to [Company name]'s team this summer. I am available to start as soon as your program begins and can share my Fernbank work in an interview. Thank you for considering my application.
Thank you,
Reese Johnson
