"motivation": "There is too much toxic-positivity in the DAO hoping for grants to work out, many people without proof of concepts, or solid real world experience attempt to garner support for ideas that often can be invalidated before they even begin. I don’t believe the DAO exists to fund startups that are too risky, or too low quality to receive VC investment, and until opportunities that are of a certain quality arrive, we should protect the funds to our best diligence. Every DAO-printed mana that is sold is a tax to all DCL citizens, investors & users, many of whom have worked tirelessly to provide and contribute to the open source environment and DCL platform - we have a duty to protect the treasury from those that wish to pilfer it for their own income, with no viable plan or intention to help return value that outperforms the investment given.",
"vision":"I see Decentraland as the backend of the metaverse, all of our clients (desktop/browser/VR) are merely interpretations of the DCL data and ecosystem for our users to connect. Through native technology and platform improvements, we live in a time where the original vision of DCL, being a browser-driven, VR, interoperable metaverse platform is possible - with the right planning and hiring of competent devs who have already built provable concepts implementing these ideas, we can push forward the native metaverse: DCL characters in every game that wishes to implement them, kicking off a wave of personalized VR avatars that causes a flourishing of market activity both for the DAO and the platforms creators, enabling shapekey & jiggle bones improvements to bring the market place to a competitive level. Users interoperably jumping between worlds of various platforms in their VR headset alongside friends, increasing the value of DCL overworld & platform, acting as a place to centralize logic for seamless exploration between even different metaverses! Don’t you wish you could wave your arms around, or talk/hangout with your friends while the actual avatar mouth moves from voice chat, with your eyes/head movement based on where you’re looking and facial micro expressions that make it feel like you are actually IN Decentraland and physically spending time with people?",
"most_important_issue": "I believe the DAO simply lacks direction on what the optimal use of funds could be, or what to do with funds during a bearmarket while we lack that direction, we need to have larger conversations about how the DAO can enforce a certain level of impact to ensure grants benefit all DCL users at large. Given that VR has been removed from the foundation roadmap, it becomes clear that we as a DAO must figure out a legitimate path towards VR implementations within our platform, not just at the interface level, but by supporting native VR interfaces at the platform level that any developers can connect to (such as WebXR). This concept would not only add great value to our platform, it would unlock a massive number of business use cases and improvements for all metaverse native businesses. What challenges will we face in the next 12 to 24 months? The bear market has been rough, after a 90% slide-down in mana it is clear there is a growing concern of what the future holds. I want to be clear, this is normal procedure in crypto, and while we may want to prepare ourselves for future cycles, we must be very careful about acting rash in a time of such negative average price disparity. What we can do, is rally together, cut spending, and unify on ideas that will multiply the value of the DCL platform for all involved - That’s why I’m here, even though I hate politics and would much rather be working on my avatar ecosystem."

"bio": "I’m experienced marketing specialist, content creator, 3D/VR educator and currently serves in the Strategic Relations role for the Decentraland DAO Facilitation Squad. I have over 15 years of experience teaching Digital arts in visual art centers and have worked as an educator with various STEM programs for over 10 years",

],
"involvement": "In early 2021, I joined Decentraland and fell in love with the creative possibilities and community. As an art curator, event coordinator, and member of the DCL Reporter crew, I interviewed creators and builders and did tutorials for a year. I also participated in a tier 6 grant with IRL Art as a builder, wearable creator, and event coordinator. For the past year, I’ve been a member of the Decentraland DAO facilitation squad with a Strategic Comms focus. Additionally, I’m honored to be one of the artists invited to the upcoming Beta Launch of the MESH art show. As a builder and creator at heart, I’m dedicated to serving and supporting the community",
"motivation": "I love creativity, learning, collaboration and building. Those are all the things that originally led me down the rabbit hole to Decentraland and those are the reasons driving me wanting to be a delegate. Since the first day I entered Decentraland I have been fascinated and inspired by the community of builders working diligently to make the amazing experiences and builds in Decentraland. I have built and been a part of various grants, learned from many different creators, interviewed and hosted countless events and for the past year I have been serving the community as a member of the Facilitation Squad. I want to help be a positive voice for the builders and creators and feel that all that I have contributed to DCL so far has really given me a good understanding of the heart of this community. I would love the opportunity to help that amazing heart grow",
"vision":"I see it as the central hub of collaboration and creativity across all Metaverses. It will continue to grow and become known as the playground for innovative experiences. Educators, students, brands, entrepreneurs , universities, business incubators creators will cross-polinnate and build together. Since I started as a DAO facilitator, I’ve been serving the community and attempting to share the light and innovation in this community. I want to continue to build pathways for that story to be told to the community and to all others. I want to see more collaboration and less destructive behavior. I hope to promote that and hope that this simple idea of sharing the positive, will help light a pathway to that positive collaboration",
"most_important_issue": "One of the most important/challenging issues is with VP distribution and the lack of incentives to participate and engage in votings and the decision making process. I don’t really see challenges as challenges but as opportunities. I don’t see we have competitors I think we have amazing opportunities for collaborations. I think growth and onboarding which are seen as challenges will be where we see the most innovation and creativity"
