I took on extra roles in graphic design, creating logos for events and designing components used in print and online. This extended skill set will enable me to contribute holistically to New Meridian's design ecosystem. I understand the significance of inclusive design principles and have integrated accessibility into product development processes, ensuring products are user-friendly and accessible to all users. I continue to push for accessibility whenever possible.\ \ At Hatch Early Learning, I played a role in shaping user-centric experiences for their educational platforms. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, I used my many years of hands-on experience in user interface and experience design to complete successful product development initiatives. My proficiency in Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite, empowered me to create compelling wireframes, prototypes, and mockups that effectively communicated design ideas and interactions.\ \ New Meridian stands to gain a designer proficient in EdTech and thrives in complex, fast-paced environments. My background, skills, and creative mindset equip me to adapt and develop solutions that align with product management principles. Moreover, my ability to anticipate needs and get things done will contribute to the operational excellence that defines your team.\ \ Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to contribute my skills to your mission. My expertise will be a valuable addition to your team.\ \ Sincerely,\ Bert}
