My degree in Fashion, past and current work experience, and personal ventures make me an excellent
candidate for
a design position within your company.  My objective is to work for a leader in the fashion
industry.  I am a highly motivated team player who has consistently found success while working in fast-
paced and demanding environments.

I enjoy challenging myself, and working for a high intensity bridgewear company like Exclusively Misook
for the past year has afforded me the opportunity to push my creativity to a new level.  This has been
the most challenging work that I
have had in my career thus far.  Some of my responsibilities include
color and market research, designing jackets
, tops and bottoms, and specing for initial protos.  It has
also been beneficial gaining detailed experience with knitwear and has expanded my technical
knowledge.

Working for a private label like Paul Davril gave me the opportunity to delve in to all aspects of the
fashion industry.  My responsibilities included all line research and development, technical
measurements, graphic and trim creation, overseas communication for sampling, and fittings. One of
the most fulfilling aspects of this job was creating a new maternity line.  Having never worked on a
maternity line previously, completion of this task required a top to bottom approach which included
extensive market research to understand common maternity line issues, and to provide a base which
to improve upon.  My maternity line consistently received 5-star ratings from customers for impeccable
fit and fabric on websites such as Walmart.com; this line resulted in additional sales of $262,000 in its
first two months of introduction.

My experience at Nautica enhanced my ever-growing knowledge of knits and wovens, computer
proficiency, and operational skills.  My annual performance review stated that my “infectious positive
attitude helped create a work environment where our team could openly and effective collaborate and
quickly move projects to completion”.  

In addition to my design experience, I have excellent communication skills and work habits.  I bring a
positive attitude and energy to a team and enjoy the collaborative nature of the design process.  I am
now poised for my next challenging design position and look forward to the opportunity to express my
passion, high energy, and determination during a meeting with you.  

Kind regards,
Amanda Brackett
