Studied design for a good 8 years, worked in the industry for 5 of those. A few small jobs were through the college I attended via our yearly exhibitions, a few odd jobs here and there via commission. After that tried my hand at a design studio here (graphic) and got in via past works and college mentors lol.

Switched to Illustrations and was literally just a blind trial for Blizzard that a friend of mine arranged for me because he apparently was a hotshot cocktail bartender in vegas which I've never met and only played world of warcaft with haha. Ended up doing that for a year.

During all of which I was just doing hospitality jobs. Cleaned car parks, scrubbed toilets, made food, made more fancy food, made coffee, made things in coffees, made a cocktail, created cocktails, tried in management, succeeded in management, move up to operations and now trainer for a franchise.

Funny how in the 8 years I studied the combined skills of my 'job to keep me alive' ended up being the main one I took where training was given to me for free completely. Both jobs sort of helped one another as I studied and worked. I could network while working bars and well, bars and cafes also tend to be where the creatives hangout in my area.
