The CivicActions Team consist of experts practicing in strategic consulting, information architecture, user experience design and testing, systems engineering, visual design, organizing, quality assurance, and project management. CivicActions team members live where they want, have a flexible work schedule, and work for clients they are passionate about. This flexibility tends to attract "Renaissance" men and women: people who -- in addition to their passion for technology -- are also literacy activists, Appalachian songwriters, personal transformation coaches, organic farmers, and programmers with degrees in art and political science. We meet throughout the year in various cities in North America and Europe for engineering and project team retreats and sprints.

CivicActioners actively engage their communities and bring their interdisciplinary approaches into their work with technology. "Thinking outside the box" -- a phrase corporations use to encourage innovation -- is not something we try to do. We live it.
