the hero i met who lived up to expectations

They say, “Never meet your heroes.” Surely, they will disappoint you and fall short of your expectations.

Before joining COLLINS, I was told about this remarkable young designer on the team. Talented. Hustler. Focused. And a wonderful person, as well. I did my research, and I was impressed. ‌That’s the sort of talented I want to be in a few years.

I’ve since met Leo Porto and worked with him for the past three months—and he’s every bit what I heard about him (and more.) Great teacher. Brilliant designer. Wonderful character.

Incredibly grateful to have worked with you, albeit for a short time. Best of luck on your next adventure.
