Executive Director at Better Block Foundation
In her seven years as the Better Block’s Executive Director, Krista has worked with neighbors in more than 75 cities to rethink streets, turn parking lots to plazas, and identify the barriers keeping communities from enjoying their public spaces. The work has resulted in economic development, calmed streets, and has lowered crime rates. But most importantly, it brings neighbors together.
Krista has led study tours in Dallas, Copenhagen, and Malmo and built hundreds of digitally fabricated benches, kiosks, and survey stands. She uses her background in journalism to educate around placemaking and transportation, and she’s a pretty adequate drone operator (as long as there’s no wind).
