At the age of 19, Yannick @your_modern_bartender was offered a significant challenge by one of his party organizers: to become bartending in an Aperitif bar.
Initially, it seemed like a foreign profession, given that he had never touched or seen any bar before. But after some time working there and getting trained, he fell madly in love with this job and all behind-the-scenes work, such as touching up the room service area.
However, after 5 years of working, he wanted to try something else related to bartending. Luckily, he got a place at the Grand Casino de Bruxelles as a bartender, where he worked with professionals such as Filippo Baldan.

Libby Lingua @oolalibby had been tending bar for 10 years before getting her Fashion Merchandising & Marketing degree from Western Pennsylvania. Because of her love for the hospitality industry, she decided to develop skills that come naturally to a creative person, such as visual design and creativity in designing drinks.
Libby has previously worked with Marriott Autograph Collection and Barter Hospitality Group. They created both acclaimed restaurants UnderTow (named one of Esquire's Best Restaurants) and Century Grand (a Top 20 restaurant according to Gayot).
This led to her desire for immersive sensory experiences through food and beverage, making it easy to decide what type of consulting work would be best suited for her by branching out into Restaurant or Brand Consultant positions.
