Architecture and Design Company
Director
Dear Mr/Mrs

I am interested in working with your team of designers, I feel my design background could be a good addition to your company.I am architect specialized in creative design ,commercial and custom exhibits. http://vibradiseno.blogspot.com

In an industry where every day the client has become more demanding and better informed than in the past with easier access to information on design and architecture, it is more important than ever for companies to offer clients as high a quality possible in design. To offer this, firms must have a strong team of creative and innovative professional designers capable of constantly taking the client and designer ideas and concepts, and turning them in to reality.

It is from this standpoint I feel assured of being able to collaborate with your company in the area of design and creative concepts , as this is my speciality but by no means my limitation. I have worked successfully in many areas of design and architecture oven the past fifteen years. I am constantly striving to keep up with the latest design and architectural trends as well as the latest technologies in computer software (2D drafts, 3D modelers , rendering and architectural virtual tours) to translate these concepts and ideas into a reality.

Although I come from another country and am still relatively new to Canada, I feel architecture and design are universal with the same basic principles and needs worldwide. Within this, I feel there are diverse shades and with contextual variations where it is necessary to put emphasis on local architecture trends and its codes.

I would appreciate the opportunity to explore the business of architecture with you by offering the background and talent I have to offer. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,



Alejandro Bello
