My brother and I have been working side-by-side for 25 years, supporting each other. My father, Jim, is the person who had the original idea of starting this company when I was still in high school. He has been through thick and thin with us every step of the way, and I have always valued his opinion, especially when it comes to design and aesthetics.
The first 10-15 years of Portola were really focused around product development and applications. It wasn't until around 2010-2012 that we really started to find our voice as a company and as colorists. That is when I truly knew this is what I wanted to do. In 2015, we were honored as one of five businesses by Martha Stewart's American Made, which really confirmed that what we were doing was being noticed and embraced by the design community.
