My main interest was prison architecture from antiquity to present day. In this course I learnt how to use Photoshop, In Design, Autocad architecture and Acrobat. I focused on manipulating the users interpretation of space. My end of year project was to renovate an old farmers barn into a change of use , restaurant /bar escape. I enjoyed using technical drawings to translate my ideas as I feel that some ideas can be lost in computer graphics. I feel this use of media was successful in portraying my feelings and ideas and created a more personal insight. I enjoyed a team project in creating a company to benefit artists. I volunteered to be a project manager and was successful in creating a portal for designers to showcase their work online for potential employers.We had around fifty students sign up which was only allowed to reach final development and received a high mark of first degree for this Show less

      Bar Supervisor

      I was part of a team who opened a new concept room in a nightclub called The White Room which was based on an Ibiza theme. I was a bar tender and worked nights, I had to undertake a two week training course in order to be hired for the job and learn all the concepts and correct waitressing for the VIP booths.I finished working here so that I could go to College in Harrogate.

      I worked for the café for five months until I went to University, full time doing up to 45 hours per week. I worked six days a week and was the supervisor. I was in charge of staff (general assistants). My duties included ; deliveries, stock taking, cashing up, staff rota, closing and opening the café. I also cooked and baked food here for the daily specials and worked on many of the board rooms and functions including set up and waiting.I finished working here just before I went to University at Teesside.

      Section Manager

      I worked my way up to section manager. Whilst working here I learnt to work as part of a team and made some great friends and was in charge of the section, display boards and some marketing jobs. When the restaurant was busy and demanding on a weekend I have learnt through experience to adapt well. I work very hard to ensure customer satisfaction and have been told I am a great team leader, I enjoy receiving the great feedback we usually receive, however I also enjoy rectifying any negative feedback and ensuring those customers return.

      Supervisor

      I started work here with the promise of starting out as a supervisor with more responsibilities and hours than at Alforno's. Unfortunately there was no room for progression at my last job so I took up the job at Koochi.I was very excited to work here and enjoyed all my responsibilities and new roles. However , the restaurant closed overnight suddenly which was a real blow.
