Summary
Dear Adam and the Union team,
I am thrilled because this is exactly the kind of opportunity I've been looking for to apply my skills in Animation.
In addition to the 5 years of experience in Freelance media production, I would bring my lifelong passion for Creativity, resourceful and adaptive approach and a hunger for knowledge to the table. Given this experience and enthusiasm I believe I would make a great addition to union.
I recently had a chance to check out the Wes anderson Archives at the Design museum, and got to admire the some of the wonderful work by Union on the French Dispatch display.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
