Vladyslav Ladyhin

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Vladyslav, and I am writing to you with sincere respect and a strong personal motivation.
Two months ago, I was forced to leave Ukraine due to a direct threat to the safety of my family and
myself. I am originally from Odesa and currently staying in Switzerland with my wife, where we have
been granted protection status.
However, my life situation is deeply connected to the Netherlands. I have a six-year-old son from my
previous marriage who lives in Nijmegen with his mother and her husband. A few days ago, I was finally
able to see him for the first time in three years. Being physically far away from him makes it extremely
difficult for me to build a stable future, and that is why I am actively seeking opportunities that would
allow me to relocate closer to my son.
During our recent visit to the Netherlands, my wife and I felt a strong emotional connection to the
country, its people, and its atmosphere. Unfortunately, entering the Netherlands through refugee
procedures is currently very limited, so I decided to pursue a professional path by applying directly to
employers.
I have professional experience as a decorator and prop maker in the media production field. In Ukraine,
I worked at Unicorn Media, a large production company operating multiple YouTube channels for both
children and adult audiences. I was part of a full production team and participated in projects from early
pre-production to final release.
My responsibilities included designing and building sets, decorating filming locations, and creating
props of various complexity — from small handcrafted items to large-scale constructions. In addition, I
completed professional training in interior design and earned a certified diploma. I strongly believe that
my practical skills, creative mindset, and ability to work in a team could be valuable for your projects.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss potential cooperation and to provide examples of my
work, including links to published projects. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter.
Warm regards,
Vladyslav
