From a young age, Nick was examining transit maps on the floor of his living room to look for the best ways to get from a hypothetical point A to point B. At Foursquare ITP, he helps others to get to the places they live, work, and play.
Nick Mellis (he/him) is a transportation planner at Foursquare ITP. He is interested in how people navigate moving through different built environments and how to improve their experience.
