Corey Acri, Code for Philly’s Director of Collaborations, will discuss how civic technology contributes to the overall design of the cities we live in with a focus on the citizen as user. He will review some of Code for Philly’s recent civic technology efforts, including CyclePhilly, and why design thinking, both at the product and organizational level, might help them achieve a greater impact.
With nearly a decade of professional experience spanning the legal, business, tech and design fields, I solve problems through critical thinking, product and project management, business strategy, strategic vision, a high-level understanding of various technologies as well as an appreciation of the core principles of experience design.
