What they say

“Luke brings a rare blend of design thinking, technical insight, and civic purpose to everything he does. He’s never been content with the status quo. Whether through ProudCity, GovFresh, or community-driven initiatives like Agile Government Leadership, Luke has helped shape a more open, accessible, and experience-focused approach to government technology. His work always reflects a strong point of view: that public services should be intuitive, inclusive, and built with care.”

Dustin Haisler
President, e.Republic

“Working with Luke changed the way I think about public service and the impact we can each have in the world. He’s been a trusted advisor—helping me think clearly about my services, mentoring me through pivotal moments, and collaborating on projects with impact. What makes him stand out is how direct and thoughtful he is. He pushes you to do your best work and then rolls up his sleeves to help make it real.”
