Every project has a unique problem space, and every project has its dream team. Our contributors are specialists in design, data story telling, data science, program and project management, software engineering... they are musicians, mothers and fathers, community activists, poets, academics, intrepid autodidacts, and so much more. Each team member brings essential insight from their area(s) of expertise and lived experience. Each engages throughout the solution scoping and crafting process — allowing the team to creatively explore each project's problem space, and then imagine & prototype solutions.
We’re bringing together people from across community, industry, and government that have specialized skills and diverse perspectives into custom teams, with a flexible common set of technology tools and frameworks to help us work together.
