Summary

I have worked in and around restaurants for most of my life, until a few years ago when I decided to pursue my passion for graphic design. Although restaurants and graphic design are vastly different fields, I have picked up valuable skills in the restaurant industry that will benefit my design career. Restaurants are typically fast-paced environments that require multitasking, a keen eye for detail, and effective communication. These skills are essential for achieving successful outcomes in graphic design and ensuring customer satisfaction.
