I write this letter in response to your Environmental Design Position.
My experience not only in this specific field, but segments associated with it, will allow me to become a strong contributor to your team. From sketches in the boardroom, production in the field and all aspects in between, I believe my history and real world experience over the past 18+ years will be an asset to the firm.
I have designed environments for Minor League Baseball, the TD Garden, the Boston Marathon, Red Bull, the AHL and ECHL, Nike, and dozens of colleges and universities nationwide. I have gained experience in an industry that has allowed me to push the envelope in material usage, manufacturing, and logistics. I would now like to bring my experience, excitement and dedication to you.
I look forward to hearing more about the position and your company.
Sincerely, Matt Fowler
