Interview with a Freckle: Marni Jacobson
What do you tell people at awkward speed dating events?
I make my own entertainment and talk to myself when people refuse to talk, I laugh at my own jokes a lot.
Where were you before Freckle, and why the change?
I was in the admin/production side of a boutique motion design company called MISTER; they do beautiful 3D design and advertising. Unfortunately a pandemic can change a lot of things, but they’re just around the corner from Freckle whenever we want to catch up.
What are your strengths and ‘quirknesses’?
Strength is my ability to organise anything, my quirkiness is my need for other people to follow my system. I even have a certain way you have to fold the bath towels.
Who aren’t you?
A picky eater
Where do you see yourself in 5 minutes? 5 days?
Honestly who knows – but most likely doing very similar things to what I was doing 5 days ago. I’m a creature of habit.
Are you a Mac or a PC? Dog or cat? Tea or coffee?
Mac / Cat / Tea. In saying all this, I wouldn’t pass up any 6 of these options.
What could Freckle clients ask you about, that you could expertly talk about
for an hour?
Why excel is the superior way to organise things, ancient Roman or Spartan history or how to bake anything without measurements.
What will your next ‘Freckfest’ talk be titled?
How to prepare for the end of society, as explained by someone who hates camping.
