Dear Hiring Team, I am writing to express my interest in joining your design team. After beginning my professional career in the field of education, I decided to redirect my path toward design, completing a Master’s Degree in Textile and Surface Design at IED Madrid, where I discovered a true vocation for working with color, textures, and prints. This shift in direction was greatly influenced by the four years I spent hand-painting porcelain in a workshop, during which I discovered an artistic calling I felt compelled to pursue. That experience awakened in me a deep curiosity for design, color, and craftsmanship, which ultimately led me to undertake the master’s program. I later had the opportunity to develop my skills as a textile designer at Cortefiel—first during my internship, focused on women’s textile graphics—and later in the licensing department at Carrefour, where I learned to work with different processes while specializing in Kids. These experiences have provided me with a solid understanding of the design and product-development process, from the initial creative concept to its final application on garments. My greatest motivation is the enthusiasm and passion I feel for doing what I love. I have always sought ways to express my creative side, and I would be thrilled to channel that energy and excitement into creating beautiful work. I consider myself a creative, responsible, and versatile person, eager to continue learning. I would be delighted to contribute my experience and passion to your team, helping to develop collections with identity, coherence, and freshness. Please find attached my CV and portfolio; I remain at your disposal for a personal interview. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Carla Lasheras
