A Cab Ride with Rachel Abrams
November 5, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Rachel Abrams is a design strategist. With a background in interaction design and political research, she identifies people-friendly, technology-mediated experiences for commercial spaces and public places.
Her interest in New York City's yellow cabs began in 2005, as a participant in the Design Trust for Public Space's Designing the Taxi initiative.
From there, as one of the Design Trust's six Taxi07 Fellows, she contributed to its report to the NY Taxi and Limousine Commission, Taxi07: Roads Forward.
Following the fellowship, Rachel's independent research has continued to focus on opportunities for policy and tech-led enterprise to intersect and inform each other, exploring how regulators and design innovators can collaborate to improve everyday experiences of public space.
