sketched by design

As I embarked on my professional career, I experienced a growing frustration due to generations of our youth becoming disconnected and these students were not maximizing their potential for success in the 21st century. I created Sketched by Design, a concept that unites all generations with a common cause. I believe every student, parent, and educator is Sketched by Design. This means that there are unique characteristics in every person distinguishing him/her from others. It is these very qualities that, if properly nurtured, could give current and future generations of our youth a competitive advantage in the 21st century. These qualities are frequently suppressed by society—a fact that could be detrimental to our future competitiveness. My mission is “to cultivate the individual and collective design of humanity.” I believe that if we, as individuals, decide to work to maximize our unique attributes collectively, we will not only improve our education system, but we will change the world.
