How I found Public Assembly
Before Public Assembly, @0xTranqui and I started a project called 6 Degrees of Separation. The project was based around the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other, and how the internet restructures the physics of collaboration. This has now become the premise of Public Assembly, and also the foundation to the text you see on the homepage. And as of today [11/22/22] we are approximately 1 week from going onchain.

Why you might be passionate about Public Assembly
Public Assembly is everything I wanted there exist when I felt disillusioned that designing was largely a technical job executing other people’s ideas. I no longer feel that dread because I’m designing for not ony myself, but more importantly for people who I enjoy working with and care about.
What you hope to contribute here
I’m hoping to show what it means to be a great team.
What you hope to learn here
How to support other people’s growth

Yikes thats a lot. I am 40% filmmaker 40% designer 20% literally tons of skills. Currently writing my first short film and working on a photography fellowship I was awarded from Google in Sep.
Self taught designer and developer. Studied design in university but only in my last year after taking a long break from school. Co-founded an agency/production company on the side called Room9. Mostly freelance designed brand/creative and product stuff for web3 daos/companies this year, coded some front-end stuff.
Found out ab crypto in 2017 as a literal baby and 4chan studied my way into a job editing whitepapers during all the ICO shit. Seriously — talk to me about merkle trees I miss it. Lots of day trading lots of mistakes.
Studied to be a wine sommelier for a while a few years ago that was cool.

I’m Canadian, born and raised in Newfoundland - a magical island in the middle of the north atlantic ocean. I lived in New York (East Village & BK) from 2013-2019 when I moved back north to Toronto.
Background info on your personal, intellectual, professional, and academic interests
I am moved by the interconnectedness of things, the beginner’s mind, the power of place, the divine feminine, understanding how we govern ourselves and each other, the principles of subsidiarity, travel, ecstatic dance and morning coffee
Why you might be passionate about Public Assembly
When I was 9 I decided I wanted to devote my live to public administration. i founded student governments, studied political science in undergrad and grad school, worked public service in canada and internationally, somehow found tech and feel like all roads converge here.
What you hope to contribute here
Hope to learn what people with more creative and technical skills than me need to thrive and provide that for them.
What you hope to learn here
More about solidity and what makes web3 new and uniquely beautiful

omggg u found ur way in !! welcome welcome
Canada is really showing out in a big way @junghwan @matthewchaim @shann.eth
get through lessons 1-6 in cryptozombies and then struggle ur way through speedrunethereum (they just redid the site its extra nice now) at least 0-2, 3 as well if u can swing it
if u can do that, u can start learning pretty much anything. here’s the guide I made from when I learned to code, #22 is when the solidity starts. if u ever get stuck hmu !!
How you found Public Assembly
Building a minting platform and community dashboard for Seed Club which needed Nouns Builder functionality and we have a working relationship with Zora via Jacob, our connect is Yuri. Iain Nash, who I met at Eth Berlin, pointed me towards Public Assembly for inspiration and I hit up Tranqui and Dain for the alpha.

I live in Southern Spain (Málaga), born in Oakland, CA and grew up in Portland, OR
Background info on your personal, intellectual, professional, and academic interests
Art, justice, movies, tech, cooking, data ethics, basketball, creative coding, memes are all things we can talk about. I worked in the music industry of LA/NY for a long time before pivoting into experiential marketing and creative agencies then ultimately back to my first love, computers/coding/art.

“Build what’s missing” is the hook, so let’s do it. I love greenfield projects.
What you hope to contribute here
Dev contrib, workflows, docs, beautiful experiences, useful tools, and lulz
What you hope to learn here
I always want to be a better dev and collaborator. Onchain insights and UX, EVM. Learn by doing with a beginner’s mindset. Can’t wait to learn about the other people who want to participate here.
yooo u hopped in! welcome <3
^realized recently that almost everything we do is greenfield – which is rlly cool bc it gives us the chance to think rlly holisitcally about our projects + work – also makes the work slightly intensive lol
Welcome!!! Can’t wait to chat onchain insights and UX, annnnd creative coding lfg <3
How I found Public Assembly
I stumbled upon a PA Github repository and was intrigued by the “create what’s missing” tagline. I’ve been involved with Web3 since early 2021, but only recently decided to work on it full-time in the last two months (which is a bit scary!). I’m getting early Mirror vibes here, and I’m excited to see how this develops.
Where you’re geographically based out of
Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec.
Background info on your personal, intellectual, professional, and academic interests
I’ve been working in the arts and music festival industry for some time now. Photography and film are my first love, but at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to pivot more towards learning UX and web design. My big goal is to learn Solidity by the end of this year. I’m also very interested in anything related to public goods and education for emerging technologies.
Why you might be passionate about Public Assembly
I’ve been thinking a lot about the intersection between the public art sector and emerging technologies for the last year or so and I feel like PA is an excellent opportunity for growth. I’d love to bridge the divide between tech tools and underserved communities.
Giving power to back to the people yo
What you hope to contribute here
Honestly, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to coding & web dev. but willing to contribute any creative skills ( editing, design, art direction, etc). Figma stan as well!
What you hope to learn here
Learning with others and building together is what made me stick around web3. Definitely also want to level up my dev skills!
