Tara Ryzebol

graphic artist + designer

Hello, I am applying for the available position as Graphic Designer. I have a BA in Design from the Ontario College of Art and Design. I'm currently looking to ground my career path and feel that the position you are offering would be a necessary and fulfilling endeavor to pursue. I have been co-owner of a visual design team known as Toy Rabbits that has allowed me to hone skills in dealing with clients and communicating with a variety of professional and executive contacts. It also demands great time efficiency, deadline sensitivity, creative problem solving, networking, sub-contracting and above all, a great passion for detail and perfection. Currently, I am fluent in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Flash, Quark, and audio editing programs such as Audacity and Garage Band. I am also able to work in video editing programs such as AfterAffects. I am continuously learning more about new programs and their capabilities as the technology is in a constant state of development and exploration. I am a dedicated designer, hard working and have the communication skills required to lead a creative group. I would be grateful for an interview to discuss the specific ways in which I could help your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration. Regards, Tara Ryzebol
