Meet the Community | Introduce Yourself

Greetings, programs! (Like this post if you get the reference.)

My name is Rob Johnson. I’m from Kingston, Ontario and moved to Regina, Saskatchewan in 2008 where I am currently working as a business systems analyst on an IT solutions delivery team for a large Canadian insurance company.

I first discovered Miro when it was RealtimeBoard in March 2018 while searching for a tool to create process flow diagrams; a tool that would give me more space to work with than Visio. With a background in web development, I immediately fell in love with RtB/Miro as it just seemed to do whatever I wanted it to do. And if if something is missing, I know it is only a matter of time before the feature pops up. After years of using Miro, I enjoy giving back and answering questions on this community forum, not to mention learning something new myself every time I do.

When I’m not working or contributing to the Miro Community forum, you can find me cycling, running, playing guitar, taking pictures of the cats, making bar soap, or travelling as far as I can during these pandemic times.

Stay safe!

Hello everyone!

My name is Denis, Product Manager at Mail.ru Group, building an identity and access management system. 

I live in Moscow, Russia, but my team is in St. Peterburg, Russia. So I was looking for a tool to help me better work remotely with my team. I started to use Miro several months ago, already found some useful features, and pretty sure there’s a bunch of something yet undiscovered.

Good evening from Vietnam, 
My name is Nguyen, a Biology lecturer in university. I have just used Miro for one month. I hope I can learn from the community. So great to be here!

Hi everyone, I finally made it!

My name is Catalina, but everyone calls me ‘Cat’. I am a 100% Colombian, raised in NYC, and now residing in Texas; I know I can’t believe it either 🤣.

I have recently started in my new role as a DesignOps manager for a healthcare company, HQ in Minneapolis. However, I have been part of the design world for 25+ years, and I still love it. In the past year, we’ve built an amazing Product Design team and have gone from 4 to 20 incredible IC. 

My team and I have been using Miro for almost 10months, and we love it. It seems we discover something new with every share-out we put together, which is why I’m here. I want to continue to learn how to use this amazing tool and help my team stay creative and challenged with every project, especially since we are a 100% remote team.

I look forward to learning and collaborating with you all. 😎😎😎

Hi,

I go by John. I support groups to achieve their collaborative goals and make better decisions (and better dialogue) by walking with them towards success on Loomio. I’m a worker-owner of the Loomio cooperative & social enterprise. A big part of my work is capacity development, walking alongside teams and individuals, holding up the mirror so they can reflect and take their next step. I am also an owner/ member over at Enspiral, where we do a lot of mutual support, mutual care, and… well… it takes a village to raise an ethical business!

I love exploring, be it places, cultures, ideas, or music (I play, curate, listen, and dance).

Visual communication is a fundamental part of the stack, so I’m glad to hop into this community so we can all raise this practice up together.

Onwards and Awkwards,
John

hi! 

I’m Ilja (aka Logan) a fresh, new Miro user @Amgen where I work in our Results Delivery Office. Facilitating workshops and Agile Coaching are just 2 of the things we do in our team on a daily basis. 

I’m getting up to speed with how we can use Miro best in these COVID times where most of our collaboration involves a computer screen and a camera. 

Looking forward learning from y’all. 

I’m Miguel Benavent de B. (Barcelona, 1960), Co Founder B-Ecosystem | Blockchain Entrepreneur | Innovation & Business Advisor. I have worked 30 years in Communication & Crisis Management. Mentoring & personal coach.

In my personal life, I like to travel on a motorcycle, sail and take photography. Besides, I write about life,

Our project: B-Ecosystem is made up of 3 business units that interact with each other and are tokenized: "Network & Projects", a platform (Blockchain + IA) based on reputation, whose objective is to launch innovation projects and / or social impact, the result of the collaboration of talent (entrepreneurs, freelancers, etc.), companies and investors; Solutions (a consultancy based on the platform's talent) and Space (a content producer such as workshops, training and public events).

Hello,

My name is James, and I work as an Adjunct Professor at the Tobin College of Business at St John’s University in Queens NY.  I also work in the management consulting world, and have done for most of my career.  I am originally from the UK, but have been in the US for 12 years.

MIRO was recommended to me by a business contact at the BBC, after he had discovered that I teach.

I have recently started using MIRO for an assignment in two of my classes.  In particular, I am keen to introduce my students to new technology that might become widely used in the workplace in the “new normal”, post-COVID 19.  This is a calculated risk, as introducing new technology can distract from some of the underlying learning that you want to achieve, and I am keen not to “overload” students during this difficult period.  That said, I (obviously) believe that on balance, the risk-reward works in favor of my students - time will tell !

Best regards

James

Hi,

My name is Sławek. I am a mathematician and a teacher at University of Warsaw (Poland). I use Miro mainly for collaboration with my peers worldwide and teaching. The best thing about Miro is that I can use my stylus to convey hand-written notes so the experience is close to using real black (or white) board.

Kind regards.

Hey everyone!🖐

My name is Ostap, and I'm Product Marketing Manager at MySignature.

Hello everyone!

My name is Mike. I am an aspiring author.

I learned about Miro through my last job as a project manager. After using it for various projects, brainstorming sessions, and other tech-related things, I began using it for my own projects.

Currently, I’m using Miro to outline a series of novels. The mind map is amazing. The sticky notes are fantastic. When I get into revisions, I’ll be using the tagging method for sure to keep track of what information I’ve revealed to the reader, and when.

My favorite part about Miro is that everything is in the same place. I’ve tried using Microsoft Notebooks and Scrivener to outline and keep track of my novel, but neither tool was suited to how my brain works. I like to jump all over the place, and it’s much easier to find things on my Miro board than switching through tabs and folders and bullet-point lists.

Nice to meet everyone! I would be interested in talking to anyone who uses Miro for outlining their own novels, screenplays, etc, and swapping tips and ideas.

Mike

Hi Mike,
Great to meet you here. I plan to use Miro to write a series of short fun nonfiction books on topics like smiling meditation, walking meditation, though I’m still learning the ropes. I hope we can exchange notes. Many smiles and much metta, Rohi
