About Us

OUR MISSION 

Testboard is where young, aspiring talent finds a home, and themselves — offering the professional education, encouragement, and support to prepare them to go out into the creative world on their own. 

OUR VISION

To empower a world where dreams aren’t inhibited by means, class, identity or geography, where young people with the passion and determination will always have the opportunity to advance their craft, their confidence, and their career. 

OUR PURPOSE

Testboard exists to break down barriers for youth around the world who might never otherwise have the opportunity to pursue and realize their dreams. We provide a development path for a lifelong, satisfying career, protecting against the risks of overnight fame, and emphasizing personal discovery as strongly as artistic discovery. 

Michaela Goddard Quesada and Michael Flutie first met through their shared passion for discovering and developing fashion models. With a combined experience of over 50 years in the industry, the duo has dedicated their careers to empowering the next generation of creatives.

Now, they launched TESTBOARD, a digital platform designed to educate, elevate, and connect aspiring actors, creators dancers, directors, models, scouts, singers, and writers. TESTBOARD partners with agencies and schools to help emerging talent refine their craft, define their personal brand, and enhance their presence and marketability, connecting them with global brands and offering opportunities to better understand their place within the industry.

More than just a platform, TESTBOARD is the culmination of Goddard Quesada and Flutie’s mastery: a streamlined, tech-forward approach to talent discovery and development in fashion, entertainment, and beyond.

To bring TESTBOARD to life, Michaela and Michael enlisted a network of cultural architects, Grammy-winning musicians, fashion powerhouses, studio executives, and creative disruptors who have long shaped the industry from behind the scenes.

This influential collective, known for defining taste and launching careers, now plays a pivotal role in The TESTBOARD Awards reviewing, selecting, and mentoring the next generation of talent across fashion, entertainment, and the arts.
