Jessica Tennyson: Bartender / Asst. Manager in Mammoth Lakes, CA

Although bartending doesn't seem to have much to do with design, I work fast in high-stress situations, communicate effectively and efficiently with both "clients"? and "teammates," and I work with others as a team both as an equal and often as a leader.

Still finding my niche when it comes to freelance design. I have had the opportunity over the past year to work with several different individuals and companies to design logos and brand identity, websites, packaging, and menu/restaurant branding. I also have had the opportunity to use my free-hand abilities to create large-scale chalkboard and painted menus, signs, etc. I love taking on new challenges, and finding creative solutions to make my clients stand out from their peers.

My primary areas of focus at Mountain Mojo Group are Branding and Website Design, with the occasional print and digital marketing projects, packaging, or other design needs our company or clients have. I specialize in UI/UX; helping my team create beautiful, functional websites for our clients with Wordpress. I have also gotten the opportunity to design logos and full brand identities for several different companies and clients.

Started as a team rider in 2011, eventually started working at the shop too. Duties included handling cash, sizing and fitting customers with the proper products, gripping and setting up skateboards, and setting up and occasionally waxing/tuning snowboards. I often help pick which new women's apparel to order for the next season as well. This job helped me gain a lot more knowledge on companies, products, latest design and technologies, etc. for both skateboarding and snowboarding.

Working closely with the marketing professionals, I do a lot of work with SEO, adwords and our online presence. I also design monthly newsletters and emails, informational graphics, social media postings, website design, and a lot of advertising design, both print and web.

Created email blasts, Facebook ads, and any other graphic design needs including updating website content, etc.
