Hi, I'm Porter.
Marketing grad · Aspiring creative · Portland, OR
I'm Porter Harris, a marketing grad from the University of San Diego and a creative at heart. I love digital marketing, sports analytics, fashion, and honestly a lot more than I can fit on one page.
Right now I'm hunting for my next role, mostly in the sports world, but I'm open to just about anything in marketing or sales. When I'm not job searching, I'm building my own mobile app, trying to explore every corner of Oregon, and growing my personal brand along the way.
