Introducing: ME! (by dalas verdugo)
This was the video I made when I became the Community Director at Vimeo.
Tomorrow is my last day working at Vimeo. After four awesome years of seeing our site grow, improve, and get the recognition it deserves, I now feel like it’s time to step away and find out what the next project in my life will be.
It’s a little scary, because I am not leaving for a new job. I wanted to have some time to clear my head, re-center on my own life, and then move forward. However, I will be helping anja with her business, and it’s pretty unlikely that we’ll end up homeless.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have future projects you think we should work on together. I am good at identifying points of friction and inefficiencies and removing them to provide a better user experience.
Looking forward to a fun year!
dalas verdugo is a top-notch man and he sculpted vimeo into a top-notch community. He made sure vimeo was not only human, but humane. When I worked under him as an apprentice, I was continuously impressed by his ability to balance diplomacy and humor both in front of the community and behind the scenes.
Favorite dalas quote, from the great video game ban of 2008:
“Is it art?” is an endless philosophical debate that is great to have with your friends for hours of stimulating conversation.
A more appropriate question here is “Will Vimeo host it?”
The answer is no.
End of an era.
