INTRODUCTION 

CYNTHIA FLETCHER-DUSTIN 

GRAPHIC AND WEB DESIGNER, ART DIRECTOR, DIGITAL SPECIALIST 

February 2016 

Dear Employer, 

Thank you for taking the time to connect with me and learn how I can bring value to your company, team 

and department. I am currently doing Graphic/Web Design/Art Direction/Digital Printing for Hazelden 

Betty Ford Foundation for the past 8.5 years. 

My projects come from a wide variety of clients and vary from small to full out advertising campaigns. 

As you will see on my resume, I’ve worn a lot of different hats. Current and past design projects that I 

have worked on are corporate marketing pieces for B2B and C2C, ads, brochures, postcards, large and 

small format signage, website layouts, email marketing, mailers and more from concept to creation or as 

production artist. I thrive on the excitement of working with a marketing team, attending photo shoots, 

press checks, radio and TV campaigns or just laying out and creating the next design. 

PLANNING ~ VISUALIZING ~ CREATING ~ MANAGING ~ COMMUNICATING ~ SUCCESS 

With several years of experience in the marketing and communication fields, I would be an asset to your 

team. My background includes art direction, graphic/web creative design, brand marketing, web content 

management and advertising, production art/electronic and preflight/prepress. These skills include 

extensive experience in several web, graphic, programs such as Adobe Creative Suite, included Flash, 

Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Photoshop. Along with experience in web coding, multimedia, social media, 

email marketing and digital strategy. 

As you will see on my enclosed resume, I have been affiliated with a highly regarded design/advertising 

firm. My job duties included creating and implementing graphics that align with our clients branding 

and graphics standards, while delivering a consistent look and feel, that is usable in various print and 

electronic formats. 

Something my resume will not tell you is that I am hard working and have a fun, creative, quirky personality 

that works well with a team. Left to my own devices I can complete independent projects and tasks in a 

highly efficient manner within budget requirements. I pride myself on making the client happy! 

In addition my background includes a bachelor’s degree from Metro State U in Business, Art and Computers 

as well as a Web-Graphic Design degree from the Hennipen Technical College with a 3.9-4.0 average. 

I believe that I am particularly well qualified for art direction, web and graphic design, and/or digital strategy 

marketing. If do find a position that you feel I would be qualified for please contact me at 651-271-7597 or 

by email at cynthafletcherdustin@gmail.com. 

Thank you most sincerely for your time and consideration. 

Cordially,
