Hi John,

Our mutual friend Takashi Okamoto recommended I give you a shout. My studio (Zigelbaum + Coelho) has started an unusual collaboration with, of all things, a mission-based, well-funded, high-impact candy startup. And yes, those modifiers are all of the startup's choosing, used here since they are quite accurate and descriptive.

My studio's role is to both make cool shit for them and also to help establish and manage an internal creative team within the company alongside a network of creative collaborators across the globe. In this line, I am reaching out to friends and friends of friends to see who's game. They are open to real creative work and not into advertising, so I feel it's a pretty cool opportunity.

Right away work is needed. There is a deadline for concept graphics to cover two in-store POS displays, these deliverables are due on Friday the 17th.

If you are interested in giving a quote for this first deadline, please let me know and I'll send you all the details right away. Looking through your portfolio I don't see very similar work to what they need but I do see very good work and that combination is perhaps ideal at the moment.

If you are not available for this first deadline but know people who are, please do forward this along. And if you'd be up for something else in the future, let me know what you're thinking.

Best,

Jamie
