Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Walter is a civic innovation leader and design researcher with 11+ years building R&D labs, participatory programs, and technology pilots for cities, global humanitarian organizations, and the UN. As a co-founder of Boston’s New Urban Mechanics and former Managing Director of the Engagement Lab, he blends gameful design, storytelling, and human-centered research to tackle complex civic problems—from shelters and substance-use services to climate resilience and public procurement. Currently directing Special Projects at a community media center and leading a street-rooted arts collective, he moves between municipal systems and grassroots practice to prototype new public-serving institutions. His background in film and a stint at Berkman Klein inform an unusually hybrid skillset: narrative craft, systems thinking, and hands-on prototyping of “weird machines” that reframe how people engage with government.
