Crossover

I’m on the hunt for my next opportunity in web3! If you’re looking for a crypto-native product marketer and experienced community advocate, let’s chat 🥳 You can see all of my accomplishments here: ohyeahdavid.notion.site/gm-4… I dove into the web3 rabbit hole right after defi summer, rode the highs/lows of jpeg summer (along with many other rollercoasters), and haven’t looked back since. As blockchain tech permeates society and proves to be integral to our digital future, I’m all-in on driving mainstream adoption. My professional web3 experience has been built on a foundation of understanding key value props of a product and ensuring those values resound with user bases, guiding product teams when that isn't the case. I’ve done my best work when applying my user-first (read: crypto-native, degen) approach in 📣 product marketing and 🏘️ community advocacy to help platforms deliver value and reach new users. Ultimately, my goal is to apply these skills at a growth stage company where I can be in tune with user needs and make meaningful decisions with product teams. Starting as a Community Manager Intern at OpenSea, I demonstrated not only a strong understanding of the OS community of creators and collectors but also of the platform as a whole. I was eventually hired full time as Product Marketing and Community Insights Lead, where I interfaced daily with engineering, PMs, marketing, and leadership to lead GTM campaigns for all user-facing features (nearly 40 during my time). I continued to strengthen my ties with the community by piloting the community council at OS (recruiting 50 prominent creators and power users), empowering product teams with direct and timely user feedback for the very first time, influencing over 20 features. After OS, I joined the small team at vibe.xyz where we built creator tools for dynamic NFTs. My responsibilities grew from product marketing to include operations and customer outreach, where I delivered weekly product & marketing alignment plans to coordinate major milestones across teams. I continued engaging with users and led a creator chat series, diving deep into potential customers’ journeys and needs while matching them to our platform’s USP. I especially loved the opportunity to be hands on with UX design and product QA, submitting over 180 issues covering core functionality, user flow, and UI improvements within the span of a few months. My career has never been rockier, but I’ve never had more conviction about anything else. The web3 technological revolution is just getting started, and I'm here for it.
