MAY 14th, 2015
Dear Sir or Madam,
Although for the past 5 years I have been the Principal of a small studio in Denver, CO., I am not necessarily looking
for a senior leadership role within your firm. I am more interested in securing a position within a firm that has similar
values, preferably a firm I can grow with and dedicate a large portion of my career to. I am a strong designer and
design team leader with solid project manager experience. I am also very adaptable and a quick learner. I have
included here some examples of my recent work as I am currently in the process of redesigning my portfolio, but
wanted to get my information circulating as soon as possible.
Recently I sold my partnership in Hangar 41, LLC. a Denver design firm I co-founded in 2010 as I have found that I
miss the comradery, mentorship, collaboration, security and level of organization that comes from working within a
larger more established organization. I would also like to return to a role that takes more complete and focused
advantage of my talent, passion and love for all things design. Hangar 41 has been an amazing experience and has
allowed me to grow into areas of the profession that I had previously limited exposure to, however, I believe it has
served its purpose and I am now ready to resume a purposeful position in a growing and successful company. A
company with a healthy focus on design and sustainability, a company in which I can continue to grow, support,
mentor and promote.
Detail oriented, thorough, hardworking and ambitious I am a creative thinker and problem solver with an insatiable
curiosity for all things. I possess a demonstrated ability to lead by example and participate on project teams,
welcome a challenge and am capable of producing quality design under deadline pressure and in remote locations.
I have guided multi-disciplinary teams on some very sizable projects over the years and enjoy client interaction and
collaboration, as well as mentoring young designers.
I take great pleasure in traveling and interacting with different cultures and with dual UK/USA citizenship, would be
available for work related travel or possible relocation as necessary.
Thank you for your interest and I very much look forward to meeting with you in person to discuss how I might
compliment your team.
Sincerely,
Mark James Raeburn
