To demonstrate my proposal development and design skills, I created a fictional proposal sample based on an architectural project for a public library expansion. This sample was developed over a weekend as a practical exercise to showcase my ability to structure, organize, and visually present complex information clearly and professionally.

The sample highlights my skills in:

• Developing a coherent proposal structure aligned with typical RFP requirements

• Crafting an engaging executive summary with clear win themes

• Designing clean, modern layouts with balanced typography and color usage

• Creating content that reflects both the client’s needs and the project’s value proposition

While simplified due to the time constraints of this exercise, this fictional sample demonstrates my understanding of the proposal process and my proficiency with proposal writing and graphic design tools.
