CityPulse’s mission is to convey activity and foster urban exploration through<br />

a civic technology infrastructure CityPulse is city-wide network of beacons<br />

that provides pedestrian lighting as interactive art, detects and reports streetlevel<br />

activity in real time, creates civic connections, and offers a new platform<br />

for human interactions and entrepreneurship. I’ve helped create and develop<br />

this project as a founding member of the Brain Drain Collective, a group of<br />

young people that leverages the creative ambitions of designers,<br />

entrepreneurs, artists, and activists throughout St. Louis. Brain Drain<br />

has presented CityPulse at a number of design conferences and<br />

continues levy support from St. Louis institutions and civic leaders.<br />

Currently, CityPulse is pursuing incorporation as we continue our<br />

dialogue with design partners and potential fiscal sponsors.<br />

“CityPulse could put St. Louis on maps that it hasn’t been on before”<br />

-St. Louis Mayor Francis G. Slay
