Hillel!
Hey
I'm Connor Gravelle, Nice to e-Meet You :)
I'm reaching out to begin a dialogue
with the hope you might be interested
in my proposal, and my perspective.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME:
I am a:
Graphic
Designer
w/ 6+ years of experience
building Brands.
Fellow
Alumni
of the MPS Branding Program
(Class of 2024).
& Future
Bald Guy
No really, since the program
I’ve noticed my hair thinning.
Hoping Debbie didn't change the
program too much since 2016...
I am an Earnest, Adventurous, Misfit,
who Codifies Complexity to find clarity beyond chaos.
In ‘A brand called you’ with Debbie Millman we underwent the soul searching process of defining our Brand Pyramid.
Through this exercise I learned a tremendous deal about myself, in addition to the value I bring to the table in the way that only I can.
It's from this class that I realigned with my desire to work with true Masters of Branding, not only in through program but throughout my career.
But by now you're probably wondering by now...
Or maybe you can already guess..
What does this guy want?
I want to work with you, at Bald.
BALD IS GROWING:
↑ Some serious Irony going on here
You've been:
Hiring
New Creatives, a new account director, a new design directors, and seems like you're still looking...
Rebranding
I love the new brand elements,
especially this dude!
& Repositioning
As an agency that provide scalable brands everything from naming, to logo, to design system.

I want to work with you, at Bald,
as your agency grows and changes.
WHY AM I BEING SO PERSISTENT?
I believe this is the place
I'm meant to be.
There are numerous reasons I'm compelled to believe that this is a place worth fighting for, but to call out a few:
Reason #1
It feels right. The culture and environment at Bald align with my values, mission, capabilities and interests. It is a place where I can work my heart out, set out on adventures, and thrive during change.
Reason #2
Your work is truly exceptional, and it feels like happy people making happy work. Not only do I want to be a part of that, but it leads me to believe that more exceptional work is yet to come.
Reason #3
Bald is growing. With growth comes change, and I've found I am the type of person who thrives in change. Since learning this, I've sought out those types of environments and Bald is no exception.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST FOR ME:
I also believe this could be the right move for Bald.
I've mentioned why it's right for me, but there are a few reasons it might be interesting for Bald too:
Reason #1
The time is right. With the agency growing aggressively going into Q1 of 2025, if you continue to scale, a bold new creative starting in Q2 might be a viable business decision.
Reason #2
I'm worth the risk. When considering bring on new team member I understand the financial risks it is associated with. That being said, as an Art Director I developed client winning work that proved my worth as a business asset and as a creative.
Reason #3
I respect your companies culture. Seriously. Having worked with assholes, I can say I'm not one, and genuinely appreciate the 'no asshole' policy.
SO HERE IS MY PROPOSAL:
While I'm ready to start tomorrow,
the time might not be right for you.
So for now I'm asking you to think of me
as a mentee.
Give me a chance to share my work,
and if you’re interested, give me a brief.
A project for me to work on to show you
what I’m capable of.
When your impressed with my work
We can negotiate my potential future
as a Graphic Designer at Bald.
I see this being two, 15-30min meetings:
An introduction and discussion,
followed by a presentation.
If this process sounds interesting to you,
or if you just want to meet regardless,
let’s talk and discuss the future.
I can also be reached any time at:
Thank you so much for your time,
especially if you made it this far!
Cheers, and wishing you a Happy New Year!
Work created on this page uses brand assets that are owned by Bald agency. In now way do I own, nor have permission to use these assets. This is entirely a creative act aimed to impress the head of Bald. Hopefully it worked.
