About the Author
Meet Dr. David K. Ewen, an extraordinary educator whose journey is nothing short of impressive. With a master of education (MEd) degree in hand, he paved his way into the educational landscape, building a strong foundation for his future accomplishments. But that was just the beginning.
Driven by a desire to expand his knowledge beyond the realm of education, Dr. Ewen pursued postgraduate studies in business, proving his entrepreneurial spirit and hunger for success. In 1994, he took the leap and transitioned into the role of an entrepreneur, determined to make a meaningful impact in the education sector. His educational background and business acumen proved to be a powerful combination as he developed innovative solutions and contributed to the field.
Dr. Ewen's unwavering dedication to education earned him an honorary doctor of education (EdD) degree, a prestigious recognition that speaks volumes about his contributions to the field. This honorary degree further cements his expertise and the high regard in which he is held.
But that's not all. Dr. Ewen's international experience is equally impressive, with his involvement in virtual teaching of global studies. By teaching global studies virtually, he was able to reach a broader audience and engage with students from various parts of the world. This experience gave Dr. Ewen a unique perspective on global education and further solidified his standing as an educator with a global outlook.

Sometimes designed objects reject their users: a computer mouse that doesn't work for left-handed people, for example, or a touchscreen payment system that only works for people who read English phrases, have 20/20 vision, and use a credit card. These mismatches are the building blocks of exclusion. In Mismatch, Kat Holmes describes how design can lead to exclusion, and how design can also remedy exclusion.

Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation.
