Skylight

Skylight is a digital consultancy that applies design and technology to the work of government, helping public agencies deliver better services and modernise how they operate. Its engagements cover human-centered design, modern engineering practices, digital service delivery and software development, with an emphasis on building capability inside the agencies themselves so that improvements endure after an engagement ends.

The firm's work spans several areas of public service, including veterans healthcare, early childhood and family services, and immigration and citizenship services. In each case the stated aim is twofold: to build services that work for the people who depend on them, and to transform how agencies work internally, rather than leaving them reliant on outside consultants.

Skylight operates as a distributed workforce with team members in 34 U.S. states, a structure the company says brings a range of community perspectives to its work. Staff include alumni of civic technology organisations such as 18F, U.S. Digital Service and the Presidential Innovation Fellows. The company describes its culture as mission-driven and oriented toward improving how government serves the public.
