Ever since a young Tessa Porter tried to develop edible, cheese-flavored tape for her burritos, she’s been drawn to off-the-wall ideas and seeing new things come to life.
We all have unique ideas. How do we pull them to the surface, evaluate them and potentially share them with the world? Tessa Porter’s company, Sprinkk, encourages and nurtures wild ideas. She’s a true believer that there’s an abundance of opportunities for all of us to bring something fresh into the world. If there’s an innovator inside of you – and there probably is – prepare to be inspired to use your unique gifts and talents to create new things.
