THE NON-STEM CREATIVES

about


“The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: artists, inventors, storytellers-creative and holistic “right-brain” thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn’t.
— Daniel Pink
It is no secret that we are on the cusp of a design revolution in business. Our current age of innovation is not sustainable unless we foster a fresh breed of YOUthpreneurs to unravel their future.We set out on a quest for the alchemy of business design inspired by nature. We discovered a profound correlation with new scientific discoveries that must be democratized to foster a fresh breed of entrepreneurial talents addressing underserved needs and problems.

TULIP🌷

why the name
