Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Saleh. In 1985 I came to Australia from Lebanon to study design. I have a Bachelor of Graphic Design (Honours) from the University of Canberra and currently working as a freelance Graphic Designer.

Last year, I traveled to Dubai and Lebanon to visit family and friends. During my visit to Dubai, I became aware of the potential of employment in Middle East region and now looking for a new challenge in this field. Due to my short stay in Dubai, I did not have adequate time to establish opportunities.

I am passionate about Arabic culture and design and am keen to work in the Middle East. My experience, combined with my bilingual capabilities, gives me a global approach to design. My design solutions are strategic, unique and encompass a variety of media. I combine my experience to bring forth results that enable my clients to build brand equity, communicate effectively, evoke positive responses, and motivate consumers to action.

I am 41 years old and have three children. I would like to acquaint them with my Arabic heritage. I am looking for a company that will compliment my design style and give me the opportunity to showcase my talents, skills and abilities.

Kind Regards

Charles Saleh
