From: Foster Care To: Futurism - A Letter Of Gratitude | Tragnark | TEDxProvidence

A personal story of the journey from Foster care to the creative space. What is that? How does it work? Why is that the way it is? Like most kids, Tragnark asked a lot of questions, which catalyzed a later journey of collaboration with diverse groups of people in art, design, science, engineering, business, and technology. 15 years of professional curiosity have lead Tragnark through 4 startup ventures, 8 industries, and over 100 studios and clients. The world is a classroom, the experience is the lesson. Continue learning, letting the questions lead the way. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
