Public Works Office (PwO) is a technology consulting and innovation firm that borrows critical perspectives and methods of inquiry from art and design to creatively (re)imagine technology solutions for the public: building technology that is understandable, interoperable, and responsive to user needs — often deployed in public spaces.

PwO is led by its founder and principal consultant Jeff Maki. Smaller projects are serviced entirely by PwO, while larger ones are serviced in collaboration with a network of trusted past collaborators.

Past clients have included mass transit operators, architecture and engineering firms, public space concessionaires (e.g. out-of-home advertising), higher education/research, technology firms, real estate and private equity.
