Dear Sir or Madam,
Let me take this opportunity to introduce myself and my reasons and goals for this cover letter. I'm good communicator, team player who thrives in a position of leadership within the group. I feel I have a natural power to put forward ideas and create topics, which empower me to succeed. In my first job as a stylist, at a local fashion magazine, I created and planned the complete photoshoots including the positions of photographers, models, makeup artists and clothing choices. For the last year and a half I've worked in partnership with IKEA for whom I make PR projects.
I'm responsible and creative person, who can find compromise and build long time partnership easily. I can work with a rigid structure, or help to shape a structure if required — flexibility and efficiency are two of my cornerstones. As freelancer I have to make decisions, plans and schedules to fulfil the wishes and needs of my clients. I think new challenges motivate and inspire me immensely.
To find new ideas for my daily projects I read an email subscription sent by The Bell, to browse Business of Fashion and The Blueprint, try to travel often and always keep my finger on the pulse of fashion, exhibitions, music albums, theatre performances, movies. The latest book I've read is Dressed Up for a Riot by Michael Idov, which I found fascinating and it'll be a pleasure for me to discuss it with your on our meeting.

Grand Street co.
In 2016 my interest in producing events, making content and building brand strategies grew, whilst also led to starting my own marketing communication agency Grand Street co. to headhunt clients. At varying times the agency worked alongside established, successful brands as Pizza Mia fast-food chain and Limerance Fashion Center, as well as smaller (for example, Art Beauty Corner studio or Moloko kids concept store) — who had recently found their niche. We helped to different companies to find out common ground with their community and also to talk about their values. The purpose of Grand Street co. is to share a personal approach with each client and managing various details.

Blagomarket
Blagomarket is a the charity project that raises funds to support vulnerable children and parents, preventing unnecessary adoptions or homelessness in the Ural region. Blagomarket evolved from a clothes garage sale and became the biggest charity festival in the region with designers market, food court, lecture programme, workshops and kids zone. I produced some festival zones, designed posters and printouts and made PR. Together our team collected over 6 millions rubles over the course of 8 festivals, of which I'm extremely proud. Our priority mission was to popularize the charity as sincere events and opportunities to help those who need, while also spreading ideas of conscious consumption and recycle.
