Dear [Company Name] Team,

In previous internships and studio projects, I have assisted with garment construction, styling for photoshoots, and developing digital assets such as tech packs, embroidery layouts, and colorway updates. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and have worked with Procreate, InDesign, and CLO3D for both creative and technical outputs.

I have a strong eye for detail and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments.

My current MFA thesis explores wearable sculpture and sustainable design, reinforcing my ability to think creatively while honoring functionality.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm regards,
Layla Jin
