David Gibson, the late Sylvia Harris, and Chelsea Mauldin believed that policy delivery could be improved through human-centered research and design. Since then, PPL’s community of staff, fellows, and board has grown to include dozens of multidisciplinary researchers, strategists, and designers — all committed to creating public programs and policies that better serve the people.
You’ll find PPL HQ in DUMBO, a former industrial neighborhood on the East River in Brooklyn.
Our ability to be human-centered practitioners in the world begins with care, respect, and dedication inside our team. We have a transparent pay scale and collaborative decision-making processes, and our permanent staff have health benefits, retirement plans, and unlimited paid leave. We talk about our feelings, and we encourage personal and professional growth.
