Fresh Mix Podcast - Episode 34: Yanique DaCosta of Fort Lauderdale Ditched Law School to Pursue a Graphic Design Career (Part 1)

Nothing says "going against the grain" like majoring in art. Well, our guest today defied the odds by using her artistic passions and skillsets to create a thriving business. Yanique DaCosta is the Founder and Creative Director of YKMD Visual Communications, which provides graphic design services to corporate event planners and trade show managers. In PART 1 of this conversation, Yanique tells Gerard how she went from coloring on her grandmother's linens in Jamaica as a child to living in a penthouse in Miami as a young adult. She also mentions the expectations that parents from the Caribbean traditionally have for their children, and why everyone is NOT destined to be a boss. Listen in and learn something new today!
