Hi!

My name is Helen Davies and my pronouns are she/her/hers.  I am based in Swansea, Wales, UK and am a Professional Development and Knowledge Digital Lead based in Macmillan Cancer Support.

I’ve used Miro on a personal level for a few years now (since just before the pandemic actually!) and we have been using it in work for around 18 months.  My current role has an instructional design and development focus, and we use miro for all our agile working, from kanban, sprints, scrums.  In addition, we use Miro for storyboarding and have developed templates based on the ABC curriculum design methodology.

My particular areas of expertise are flipped classroom, storyboarding, instructional design, assistive technology and a little around Agile ways of working.

I’m not sure what counts as interesting with regards to things about me, but given that I work in a digital environment with technology, I write with a fountain pen and bottled ink.  (I also have a quill!)

I look forward to seeing you all around the community/miroverse

Hello Miro Community,

 

I'm Hassan Afaq, a Project Manager based in Lahore, Pakistan. With a diverse background spanning various industries, I've honed my skills in gathering and documenting requirements using a wide array of tools. Over the past three years, I've been leveraging Miro effectively for activities like event storming and persona mapping. This approach has allowed me to maintain a centralized repository for project requirements, facilitating clear communication across teams—from engineers to business stakeholders. I've had the privilege of achieving significant successes in various business endeavors through these methods.

 

Looking forward to connecting and sharing insights with this vibrant community!

Best regards,

Hi all here in the Miro Community!

Since I am not new to Miro, but new to this community, let me introduce myself by using the introduction template:

  • 🎤  Jeroen de Boer
  • 📍  Living in Wateringen, working in Zoetermeer and Utrecht, all in The Netherlands 🙂
  • 💻  As a consultant working for Cegeka Consulting, now at an assignment at Rabobank 
  • 💛  I am a Scrum Master, but prefer to call it a Team Coach, because that is what I do, I coach the teams and the members of the teams
  • 🎨  Always looking for ways to improve and use new tools that can help

I am very excited about the possibility of using Azure cards in Miro, but am still figuring out how to use this in the best way to make the Quarterly Planning easier, more fun, but most of all less work for the teams.

I would really like to get in contact with people here that are already using this integration and can help me out.

Will you let me know please? Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Hello to everyone !
My name is John and I am a new user of miro. As a 3D artist I often have a big bulk of information, comments, references for my projects. With miro I’m trying to keep that mesh organized in order to speed-up my workflow and have all the data in one place.
I’m looking forward finding new ways adding miro in my pipeline.


Cheers!!

Hello

I’m Smithloo, I’m a new member, nice to join the community

Dear all: My name is Michael and I got to know Miro during the Corona lockdown. I work as a teacher at a vocational college, and Miro has enabled me to teach online with an educational account. Recently, I was looking for a tool that allows one to flexibly and freely display everything one wants. Actually, I am a pastor - and I am currently transitioning professionally to become a consultant for organizations and church communities. Such processes also need to be visualized at times. That’s when I thought of Miro - and I created my first private account. I am looking forward to discovering what all is possible.

And - yes. There is a dog here too.

Hi everyone!

 

I’ve been a long-time Miro user, but for some reason am extremely late to the community party. I am a design strategist in a scholarly communications research incubator called Greenhouse Studios, which is part of the University of Connecticut in the United States. (If you follow NCAA basketball, you should know about UConn….Go Huskies!)

 

I wear a lot of hats in my role, but the most relevant one here is design thinking facilitator. I am currently part of an NEH-funded institute called NetWorkLab, in which we teach remote collaboration for digital humanists. I am a HUGE Miro evangelist and I teach/facilitate with it often, both as the venue for my content and as the subject of my lessons.

 

My background is much more rooted in art & design than it is in scholarly communications and digital humanities, but I have really enjoyed working an academia and in this role that I have been really lucky to shape over the last 6+ years. I get to mentor a ton of students, and I love that equally.

 

Outside of my professional role, I am also a parent, wife, avid equestrian, and I run a boutique creative studio centered around the equestrian community. Glad to e-meet you all!

Hi @Brooke Foti Gemmell 

Never too late to join the community party! Welcome! Looking forward to your perspective in the forums.

Cheers!

Hello everyone! Officially introducing myself to the community! (not my first time) I am also @Victor Paredes. My name is Victor. I am a designer, visual facilitator and domain investor bootstrapping digital product concepts.

As much as I have always been passionate about Miro, I was never active in the community. I used to be shy even publishing anonymously, but now I have much to share and I have been working on some cool stuff I will be sharing spontaneously. I read how to earn points & badges and I am feeling competitive 😝

In fact I knew Miro since RealtimeBoard. I learned Design Thinking in University studying entrepreneurship and have been addicted to Miro ever since. I am insanely and even unhealthily mapping EVERYTHING I can think of in Miro. It’s all connected, everything is connected, but, I’ll leave the talk for another day.

(also I just got accepted in the Miro Consultant Community 🥳)

Blessings all!

 hi @vprds! 

Love to see all this enthusiasm! It’s very inspirational! Looking forward to see what new designs and ideas you have after spending time on the forums.

 

Cheers.
