A cover letter to Melissa (with this hub's link inside it), a JD-by-JD fit map that names both my strengths and my growth edges as a behind-the-lens producer, and my CV. Both the CV and the cover letter are downloadable — open either and save to PDF. And in Door 02, real Canva content I produced for the relaunch.
I'm applying for the Creative Content Producer & Digital Strategist contract. DOF — Department of Finery — is building a brand universe a community wants to live in, not just shop, and a relaunch is exactly the moment a clear content system earns its keep. So rather than just claim "proficient in Canva and Shopify," I built a live hub with real relaunch content inside it, in your own palette. You can review everything before we speak:
Let me be straight about who I am, because the standard I work to starts with honesty. I'm a digital content producer, strategist and Shopify operator who works behind the lens — not on-camera fashion talent, and not a fashion photographer. Your brief asks for someone comfortable both in front of and behind the camera, with a fashion-shoot portfolio. That on-camera, high-fashion-craft half is where I'd pair with you, your talent and a photographer. What I own end-to-end is everything around it: the content strategy and calendar, producing and editing in Canva, CapCut and Figma, the Shopify site, captions and newsletters in the house voice, scheduling and publishing across Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, community engagement, influencer coordination, and the weekly performance report. The brief itself says you want "the Editor behind the lens" — that's me precisely.
Why I'm a genuinely strong operator for DOF specifically: I run a live Shopify store every day (products, collections, email, discounts), I build brand-consistent content daily in Canva and CapCut, and my background is detail-first — an English Literature degree for caption and newsletter writing, a Law degree for following brand and editorial guidelines exactly, and years of Australian government work where everything was documented, consistent and measured. Door 02 holds Canva designs I made in DOF's aubergine, rust and chartreuse with a Made-in-Italy line; Door 03 is a 90-day relaunch strategy; Door 04 shows how 12–15 retainer hours a week can hold a full-time content presence with an AI-assisted production workflow.
Where I'd grow or lean on the team: on-camera presence and fashion-shoot photography/videography craft (I art-direct and edit, I don't model or shoot fashion campaigns); a deep fashion-content portfolio (mine is digital/brand content, not runway); and Klaviyo specifically, which I'd pick up quickly from hands-on email-marketing work in comparable tools. I'd rather tell you that now than at the interview.
I'm Melbourne-based, available immediately, comfortable working hybrid and directly with a founder in a fast-moving start-up, and genuinely drawn to work where craftsmanship meets a digital relaunch. I'd love to walk you through the studio and the strategy.

Both ready to open and save to PDF. The cover letter document includes this hub's link so it travels with the application — exactly as your brief asks: "resume along with examples of work."
Mapped honestly against your responsibilities and requirements. Aubergine = a clear strength. Amber = where I'd grow into it or pair with you, talent and a photographer. No point is hidden.
Framed as a producer's read of the role, not a critique — where I see the work landing and where the value compounds for a 12–15 hour retainer.

That operating layer is exactly where I'm strongest, and it's what makes 12–15 hours hold a full presence.Shopify) to ensure imagery and messaging are consistent with current social campaigns." Most content creators stop at the feed.
