I’ve been a proud Dribbble community member since 2012—and finally got to work alongside the team in 2019, as community manager and event wrangler. My gig included a wide swath of responsibilities—developing community engagement programs, honing Dribbble’s affable, approachable brand voice, teeing up regular communications, and helping facilitate Dribbble Meetups across the globe.
I also got a chance to be a face representing Dribbble, including emceeing the main stage of Hang Time NYC, our 700-attendee design conference at New York’s storied Hammerstein Ballroom. I also spearheaded co-branded events, talked shop with Dribbble’s 700k+ Instagram followers in our livestreamed Dribbble Coffee Break, as well emceed and produced Dribbble’s virtual workshop sessions serving over 1,000 creative practitioners.
