I'm super excited to apply for the Mid-weight Brand Experience Designer position within the EMEA Brand Creative team.

Since 2018, Nike has held a special place in my design aspirations. I was living in Brazil and decided to apply for a communications internship at Nike's EMEA HQ, even though I didn't think I stood a chance. Luckily, I got into the last round of interviews with Jenny Simmons, Communications Manager at the time.

So… I didn't get the job, but this experience made me realize a career in Europe was a real possibility for me and not just a dream.

Now I’m happy to say I made it. I’ve been living in Munich, Germany for almost 2 years now, working as a graphic designer in a big tech company called Sinch.

But that doesn’t mean I stopped dreaming. And today my biggest dream is to get a position as rewarding and impactful as a Nike designer, in the same company and headquarters where my first dream began.

São Paulo, Brazil

Munich, Germany

Hilversum?

My previous experiences refined my abilities in multi-disciplinary design, through creating engaging digital experiences and conceptualizing and executing product marketing campaigns.

But corporate B2B design can only get you so far. Nike is one of those brands that is so vibrant and impactful in the world's culture that it reminds me why I chose to be a creative professional in the first place. I'm ready for it to be my next step. I'm more excited than ever.

Beyond my technical skillset, I have a strong conceptual mind and a relentless pursuit of fresh perspectives. This allows me to stay current with emerging trends in design, fashion, film, and technology, ensuring my work remains relevant and impactful. I thrive in collaborative environments, fostering open communication and teamwork to achieve exceptional results.

As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I wholeheartedly embrace Nike's commitment to diversity and inclusion. I believe this fosters a rich and dynamic work environment where creativity can truly flourish. The opportunity to collaborate with talented designers from across the EMEA region and contribute to Nike's brand storytelling in the Netherlands is incredibly exciting.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Julio Carvalho
