Lenora Porter, Designer + Engineer
What moment has defined your journey the most? It could be a win, a loss, a wake up call, something you think of often and realize how different your journey would be if not for that moment.
Walking to the advisors office at University of Florida and finding out I wasn't in the right major to become the Design Focused Engineer I wanted to become (BA in Digital Arts & Sciences- Exploring Digital Production, Animation, and Game Design.). Finding out it was "too late" made me rely on myself and my own drive to still break into the industry without a computer science/digital science degree.
What drives you?
My vision of myself.
How are you paving the way for people in your community to succeed? Or opening doors that were once closed?
My brand is all about empowering others to rely on their own will and accumulated resources.
Most meaningful project to date ?
An app I designed to feed homeless Youth in Los Angeles.
Advice or a mantra you would like to pass on
Fail Forward.
