"I've spent my career at the intersection of cities and technology, and I've seen how powerful it can be when we get it right. Helpful Places exists to ensure technology is deployed responsibly and meaningfully, so it actually benefits people and the places they live, work, and play. We're a team of urbanists, designers, and builders who care as much about the human experience as we do about the tech itself.
