Most candidates treat the cover letter as a summary of their resume.
That’s the mistake.
A strong cover letter doesn’t repeat experience, it translates it. It connects your leadership, results, and decision-making to the company’s current priorities.
Your resume says what you’ve done.
Your cover letter explains why it matters to them.
If you’re using it strategically, it becomes a positioning tool not a formality.
Before you submit your next application, ask yourself:
“Does this letter make it obvious why I’m the solution to their problem?”
If not, revise.

Really nice restraint here. The gradient system feels expressive without overpowering the typography — hard balance to get right.
Defining the aesthetic: Curated, modern and intentional. A quick look at a motion project currently in the works.
Very elegant visual language. Curious — was the muted palette driven more by brand strategy or aesthetic exploration?
