Oakland Visit

A visit to Adam’s office in downtown Oakland. He works as creative coder at Pitch Interactive, where he develops data visualizations for clients like Facebook and Google. They have a nice workspace in a brick building overlooking what used to be the Oakland Tribune.

 

Oakland is going through rapid changes, as many creatives and professionals move into an area that still struggles with crime and poverty. That paradox was apparent on my way from downtown to the Crucible in West Oakland, where dozens of homeless tents were pitched in by the freeway, set against a backdrop of shiny new skyscrapers.
