Fenton gained early acclaim in 1981 as the creator of Gorf.[4][5] The MacroMind company was named after one of the characters in Gorf.[6] She was drawn to computer technology while in school because its highly predictable nature appealed to her and provided a haven from being bullied by other students. Jamie transitioned from male to female around 1998 and has been active in the transgender community.[4]
