Summary

Cover Letter

Hello, my name is Romina Cristodero. I am an award-winning international designer with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata in Argentina combined with a Master’s degree in Fashion and Trend Design from Ent Art Polimodain Florence, Italy.

I have an immense passion for my work and I am inspired by creating new trends, concepts and designs with equally motivated fashion-forward brands from across the globe.

I would greatly appreciate your review of my CV for a possible consultancy as a designer with your brand/company. I am trilingual in English, Spanish and Italian and have extensive experience in the design of lingerie, loungewear,swimwear and athleisure collections. My experience comes from working with luxury brands including LaPerlaSPA, Valery SPA (awarded CREATEUR 2009, Le salon International de la Lingerie), Paris Hilton,Blumarine and Felina USA.

I recently launched myInternational Design Studio in Los Angeles, California and have been working as freelancedesigner. I provide alllevels ofcreationsupport,tech specifications,relationships withEuropean textilefirms, fabricsourcing (international expos) andother services required to transform the initial concept to a retail launched product.

What distinguishes me from other designers? Afeminine style that merges Italian elegance with a sensual Latin sensibility.

It would be a pleasure to meet you to discuss upcoming projects and potential collaborations.

Respectfully,

Experience
