Qualifications / Experience:
1. I am one with my doodle and my doodle is with me.
I have been a doodle since February 2022. Ever since, Doodles has been part of my identity.
I take my doodles pouch everywhere I go, and I have a doodles sticker on top of my macbook, my friends would give me a birthday cake with my doodles on it.
Doodles is so deeply rooted to my life in a short period, so much so that I can’t imagine myself without a doodle.
I’ve literally attended all doodles official events ever since I joined, be it New York, Paris, or Miami. I just had to go, because I love doodles.
I can assure you that through ups and downs, I will always be part of the doodles family and care about doodles.
2. I have much experience hosting “web3” and “NFT” community events. on brand.
I have experience hosting events even pre-web 3, but more importantly, I have hosted and arranged all types of NFT community events, from a small holder meetup, to a community-led exhibition, to a full NFT conference with 1000 attendance total. Here are some examples of events I hosted
1) HELLO NFT! (http://hellonft.live)
HELLO NFT! was a three-day NFT festival with networking party, celebrity performance, NFT conference all blended in together in Seoul, Korea. We had a total of 1000 people attend across three days. I made this event and managed the entire budget, planning. Literally everything from speaker sourcing, location hunting, catering, merchandise, pre and post marketing. I can confidently say that I’ve been through end to end NFT festival of quite a size and can share my knowledge and learning to all of the future event hosts for doodles. and of course I used my own doodles pfp as my main picture. Also, you can see how on-brand and consistent the entire event looks.

2) Smaller Events with Purpose
A) I have recently hosted an event, that was intended to share my experience in NFT Paris, to the Korean community, about 2023 NFT Trends and what I saw in Paris. I led everything of course from venue selection to food, operations, contents, and getting partners.

B) I also have experience putting together a community led exhibition and a meetup. I was part of the core group for Clone X community led exhibition and meetup. We were able to put together a great private event for holders and plus ones. I led the venue sourcing and operations such as catering and was the one who liased with RTFKT team to get support from the team. Exactly what I will do for Doodles with this role!

3) Last but not Least, Doodles Meetup!
I hosted a Doodles meetup in Korea with fellow doodlers back in June 2022. I created the eventbrite page myself and worked to source location from a fellow doodler, and to get attention from the doodles discord to set up seoul event channel. I also prepared doodles merch to giveaway to fellow doodlers. We invited +1 guests and had a blast, with a welcoming video from Evan, which I solicited to receive and share to the local community. I think it means a lot to actually have contributed to the community by having an experience of hosting exactly what I would be helping in the coming months, doodles event.
3. I have the right skillsets to help hosts succeed
I come from operations / product management background, working at companies like Uber. It means that I have experience communicating with people all over the world, and am used to stakeholder management at all levels. Collaborative work is in my nature.
I am very well connected to the web3 scene in general, which will make me a good guide in connecting the hosts with the right partners across the globe. Not to mention that I would say I’m active as a doodles holder in engaging with the community (although I focus more on IRL and twitter, versus discord).
Why are you running for the Community Council?
Because 1) I love Doodles, 2) I love hosting community events, and 3) I want to give back.
Ever since, joining the NFT scene, doodles was my home. doodles community welcomed me in Austin when I was a super newbie into NFTs, and although I have multiple NFTs, doodles still serves as my core identity across multiple platform (my pfp is doodles for all facebook, instagram, twitter, etc.).
I also believe I have what it takes (qualifications and experience) to help the doodles community host great events across the world, while making sure the event stays in line with the brand guideline of the doodles for a great experience for holders and guests alike.
Being in the community council will allow me to give back to the community what I have received for the last year, all the love and help that made me grow in the NFT space. I now want to help members that wants to contribute to the doodles community like me, by helping them host a dope event across the world, all while helping doodles proliferate.
