Evolving an Open Standard for Digital TrustHelping a globally adopted standard for technology transparency mature into shared public infrastructure.
The Digital Trust for Places & Routines (DTPR) standard — an open communication standard for technology in public space — has been adopted in cities and districts across three continents. Serving as an advisor and Industry Mentor to the National Science Foundation-funded effort to evolve DTPR, led by Superbloom and Helpful Places, the work explores how an open standard becomes durable shared public infrastructure: who governs it, who maintains it, and how it adapts as the technology and policy landscape changes.
The inaugural MakeShift Conference in May 2026 convened a community taking shape across policy practitioners, urbanists, technologists, designers, artists, and community members — together pushing forward a vision of accountable tech.
