Jared Mirsky Age: 33 Company: Online Marijuana Design Position: Owner and founder Location: Seattle, Washington “It’s all about being effective and efficient and developing your processes and procedures to show your true value to your clients,” he says. “I think that’s what makes you successful in this business.” Mirsky is also the co-creator of the cannabis lifestyle app Sesh, and he plans on starting a budtender training program. He opened his first design studio, Mirsky Media, while working as a club promoter in Seattle. “We were promoting about five clubs a week for three years straight,” he says. “So we were doing really good but we were also spending a ton on graphic design.” Mirsky took it upon himself to learn the trade. While he admits that his skills as a promoter sold more of the events than his early designs did, the new skill changed the course of his career. “As I got better I quickly realized that I was in love with design,” Mirsky says. “Before I knew it, I was getting hit up by my friends to design their graphics and it just spread from there.”
