Bloom delivers better government services by putting people first.

Bloom
We work alongside you to create better outcomes; for everyone.
Bloom partners with all levels of government and purpose-driven organizations to create and improve services that benefit the public. We do this by guiding our partners to make user-centered and resilient services that are equitable, accessible, intuitive, and functional. We iterate with you and build on past lessons, with the ultimate goal of serving the public.

Our capabilities

  • Product and delivery management: Effective government services depend on partnering with stakeholders, guiding teams, managing scopes, and setting timelines, often through ambiguity and shifting priorities. We do this without losing sight of user needs. Our product and delivery managers lead cross-functional teams and guide projects toward better outcomes.
  • Tech strategy and software engineering: Government technology needs vary widely, and require real knowledge of both legacy and emerging technologies. Our software engineers and tech strategists use their strong technical knowledge to flexibly and iteratively build a safe and secure usable systems to meet complex system needs.
  • User experience research and design: Government services serve large, diverse populations, which requires thinking upfront about the needs of people who may have been overlooked or misunderstood in the past. Our user experience designers and researchers address equity and accessibility first, from early exploratory research to how working design solutions are developed and evaluated.
  • Content design and strategy: Clear and accessible content is core to making useful government services. Our content designers and strategists deliver effective information architecture, plain language writing, and other aspects of good content design to make even the most complex or bureaucratic information approachable.

We focus on impact.

Our ultimate goal is to benefit the public in tangible ways. Making services more accessible is more important than our revenue. Read what it means for us to be Public Benefit LLC.

We think beyond technology.

Technology often isn’t the most difficult part of our work. Better services require user research, design, and content strategy to truly serve end users. For example, see Bloom’s people-first approach to large language models.

You are part of the process.

We collaborate openly, sharing the process, not just results. We pivot together, avoiding surprises. See how we shared the process of building a kin-first model of child welfare.

You see continuous improvements.

We’re nimble, ready to adapt, and plan for pivots. We break work into intentional pieces, and learn from what works and doesn't. See how we iteratively built a data collection tool for early childhood education providers.
