Greetings CDAO Council and Community! As you know, I’ve been an active member of CDAO since it’s inception and very proud to see the leaps and strides the community and its leaders have taken since I stepped down from my council position in the early days. I’ve witnessed the ups and down, the struggles and the wins and I am formally submitting my application for the position of Advisor so I might better serve the community and apply the many things I have learned along my 6+ year journey in Web3, and my over 3 years in the Near ecosystem.

Although I’m not proficient in programming, I have an excellent understanding of the technology having been at the helm of implementing novel smart contracts for DAOrecords, along with a curiosity that has always kept me ahead of the curve. Here’s my Github link anyway.

I do hope you consider my application and the weight of my contribution to the community as a member and, potentially, an advisor.

Take Vandal as an advisor to CDAO, I know his capabilities and the way he leads, this will strengthen CDAO’s pillars to support the community, considering we are about to enter NDC v.1 governance, IMO :pray:t3:

  1. Reply to this post, briefly describing your experience in web3, working with code (GitHub repository commitment will make your application stronger), and state your interest in joining the CDAO as an advisor,

I have been a crypto enthusiast since 2016, particularly for its cultural and social impacts, and have been a member of the Creatives DAO since the spring of 2021. I have observed CDAO from the beginning stages and every iteration of its evolution. Those that have also been around, are aware of my strong feelings about how the operations and priorities have been conducted. Saving everybody the rant, I believe we can do better, and it is our responsibility to do so.

In most humility, I believe that my contributions speak for themselves, at least as it pertains to those evaluating my candidacy, and my intentions and motivations have always been aligned with the best interests of NEAR.

I am acutely aware of the criticisms of CDAO past and have expressed many of the same. However, I do believe that I am in the best position of experience, insight and ability to help coordinate and synergize a more impactful future that will meet the needs and KPIs of the NEAR ecosystem.

I would hope to help develop an infrastructure and foundation for other communities to leverage as they look to move into web3.

Rather than prioritizing simply creating artistic works, I propose establishing proof of concepts for the tools being used. That will create context and repeatable templates that can be used for onboarding new users and retaining existing ones.

One of my biggest goals in accomplishing this would be to work with other core projects on NEAR, as well as the governing bodies, while also exploring outside opportunities that will help the ecosystem grow.

We would work directly with these core teams to help build strategies that align with thriving, already existing communities for integrations and partnerships to expand the reach of products, projects, and messaging.

My professional background is in branding, marketing, and PR, with an emphasis on events and brand strategy. I have more than 12 years of professional experience working for agencies and as a freelancer. This includes project/account management, developing campaigns & community outreach strategies, building partnerships and effectively managing multi-six-figure budgets.

Taking almost an Andy Warhol approach and focusing on “business art” ultimately, I aim to contribute to a collaborative meritocracy, where art and tech intersect in ways that enrich the lives and experience of the end-users and reach more of them by meeting them where they are.

Artists are the culture builders, and we need to bridge the gap between the innovations we create and the culture it serves.

I am more than happy to privately share any other details or answer any questions about my experience and why I believe I am the right fit for the role. However, I do not feel comfortable sharing personal information on the forum due to community members habitually and invasively overstepping boundaries without proper checks and balances, or accountability.

Thank you for your consideration.

Greetings, I am EL.

A brief background about me, I am an Interior Designer by profession, but have gone into the building in the Metaverse during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I run a metaverse game development studio called XOVOX Labs and founded a decentralized crowdfunding platform for creators called DAOCre-8 which won 4th place from Solana’s recent Hyperdrive Hackathon.

I’m also a multi-disciplinary artist and had my works featured in shows and galleries in the past. I am passionate about the creative industries and am currently helping push for it in the Philippine’s with the new law supporting Creative verticals and initiatives.

I believe that my background would be of help as both a creative and a technopreneur, providing a unique perspective that the Creatives DAO will hopefully benefit from.

I’ve been supporting artists, specifically in the East and Southeast Asian Regions in the NFT space by being a patron of their arts, helping through connecting them to helpful resources, and collaborating with them when given the opportunity.

Having been immersed in the NEAR ecosystem for around 2 years now, witnessing the ebb and flow of the community, the fervent and resilient efforts brought forth in the past, and the advances that it has made in terms realizing the space - I feel like I can help out furthering that through the Creatives DAO specifically, especially now with the market going through its second-wind, and get a renewed interest in the arts.

Thank you for your consideration,
EL

Have to say I’m v surprised that @rhymetaylor hasn’t been selected though ? :eyes:

Appreciate that I’m an outsider to the process here…but his track record - both internally & externally - and his profile would seem a perfect fit

What about having three advisors…to match the three council?
