Compliments cover letter template

A serif with the contacts at the foot and the name signed rather than typed. A compliments slip that says something.

Product Designer — Northbank Studio

Dear Hiring Manager,

I've spent six years designing the parts of software people use when they're in a hurry — checkout flows, booking screens, the forms nobody wants to fill in twice. Northbank's work on the transit app is the clearest example I've seen of that done well.

At Meridian I rebuilt an onboarding flow that four in ten people abandoned. It now finishes at eighty-one per cent, and the research behind it is still what the team reaches for.

I'd welcome the chance to talk it through.

Sincerely,

Dana Okoro

What defines this design

  • Serif typeface
  • Contacts printed at the foot of the page
  • White paper
  • The sign-off written, not typed

Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, typeface, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching design later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.

When to send Compliments

Compliments is set in a serif, which still reads as the default voice of formal correspondence — law, academia, government, publishing, medicine. It is the safe choice in the places where being the safe choice is the point.

Whatever you pick, the letter is read for what it says. A design buys you the half-second before that starts — it cannot buy the paragraph after it. If you are undecided, take Classic and spend the time on the opening sentence instead.
