Our Values
At Culdesac, we:
Work as a team
Be inclusive, drawing on the strengths of people who bring a different perspective.
Find ways to work together that overcome disciplinary and geographic separations.
Act from ownership
Be output oriented. When we see a problem, we roll up our sleeves and fix it.
Don’t let blockers stop you from seeing your work through to the end.
Rule 0, then iterate
Don’t start from scratch: learn from our own and others’ previous attempts.
Before mass private car ownership, all cities were models of walkability. We learn from the designs of the past and make them beautiful and relevant to today.
Then, we learn from our own designs to continually improve.
Design for humans
Ask people for feedback and observe behavior. Only users know if we’re creating value for them.
Human paradoxes and contradictions are our opportunity to create joy.
Respect the limits of what we can know and plan. In the complex organism of a city, emergent behavior rules.
Create and capture value
Focus on what our residents value: profitability is essential for sustainability and allows us to scale.
Great places create positive externalities for ourselves and our neighbors, unlike the negative externalities of cars.
We build value by executing on the fundamentals and excelling at mobility, community, and open space.
Next Steps
If you think Culdesac might be a good fit, we encourage you to apply! If we move forward, here's our typical process:
1. A 15-minute call with a recruiter to understand your high-level background and cover logistics & expectations.
