Kordae Henry came to PennDesign after completing the Architecture and Environmental Design program at Morgan State University. He is currently working at MASS Design Group as an Associate Designer and is a creative director at JNTS.
What does a typical day as Kordae look like?
Before work I work out, or ‘move’ is what I call it, I usually bike or take the train here in Boston. At work, I am moving through iterations for both landscape and architectural projects in the US and Africa. After work I focus my energy and time on creating a place for a design initiative or cultural incubator called JNTS.
What do you miss most about your time at Penn Design?
As cliché as it sounds I miss the energy. There was always someone who was a master at something. From students to professionals to the custodians, there was an answer. We just had to look hard enough for it.
What was the best advice you’ve received and who was it from?
“Never let anyone define you.” From my mother.
