Meet Bert Jenkins
Role: Project Manager
Time at Fuzzy Math: 3 weeks
Q: Where are you originally from?
A: East Cleveland, Ohio
Q: Favorite hobby?
A: GAMING! Playstation is the elite gaming console. That, and Ohio State Buckeyes football!! My heart bleeds scarlet and gray.
Q: What are you currently watching?
A: Lovecraft Country is definitely a fave of mine. Jordan Peele is a creative horror genius. HBO originals really can’t miss lately though. Euphoria and Insecure are some of my other favorite shows.
Q: What was your first job ever?
A: A pharmacist at CVS used to pay me cash to come sweep up the pharmacy after school twice a week. Think I made like $40 a week doing that. Not bad for a 13-year-old, but…child labor laws. So, yeah.
Q: What are two truths and a lie about you?
A: I’m in a fraternity. I’ve saved a life in the Atlantic ocean before. I have sisters that are triplets.

Role: UX Designer
Time at Fuzzy Math: 1 week (3 months including time as an intern!)
Q: Where are you from originally?
A: Vilnius, Lithuania.
Q: What’s playing in your headphones at work?
A: It’s an eclectic mix. From Blossom Dearie to Sade to HAIM to Cardi B, I’m all over the place. During the actual work hours, it’s between a Reading Jazz playlist and lo-fi.
Q: What item can you not leave home without?
A: A good pen and sunglasses.
Q: What was your first job ever?
A: Michaels, the arts and crafts store. I started when I was 16 and worked there for years. I loved it and still know my local store like the back of my hand!
Q: If you could switch jobs with someone for a day, what or who would it be?
A: A marine biologist who studies whales. But just for a day! I really love being a UX designer.
Meet Raven Feagins
Role: Content Writer & Administrative Assistant
Time at Fuzzy Math: 7 months
Q: Where are you from originally?
A: I’m always the worst person to get this question since I don’t have a clear-cut answer. I grew up in a military family so I moved almost every three years of my life. But! The most interesting place I lived in was Germany from ages 7 to 10. Otherwise, I’ve been in Chicago for 9 years so Chicago is my home now!
Q: What’s playing in your headphones at work?
A: So many things! Lately, I’ve been listening to Amine’s newest album, Limbo, on repeat, but if I’m just looking for something a little more chill I’ll listen to anything by Thundercat, Tame Impala, or my “Energetic Classical” playlist if I need something to help me stay hyper-focused while I’m writing.
Q: What was your first job ever?
A: When I moved to Chicago, the first job I had was working at a souvenir shop at Navy Pier during the Summer.
Q: What was the last book you read?
A: All About Love by bell hooks.
Q: What gets you out of bed in the morning?
A: Usually, it’s my dog, Rose, tip-tapping her way into the bedroom and staring at me to get up and feed her.
