Celia Romaniuk joins Dopplr as Community Design Manager
Very excited to announce that Celia Romaniuk is going to be joining us part-time to turn up the heat on the stew of feedback, comments, blogs and conversation that we have around Dopplr and help turn it into sweet, nutritious new functionality and design.
We wanted to make a lot better use of the passionate and vocal users we’ve got, and Celia’s role is going to be both working with Dan Gillmor to reach out to them (you?) and understand what’s working and not-working-so-well for them; and working with us in the development team to turn that into working reality as fast as possible.
Celia’s worked as an interaction designer for about 10 years, for companies like Razorfish,
the BBC and Skype.
Last year, she relocated from London to Sydney with her partner and little boy; so our timezone coverage of the globe is almost complete!
She says:
“…the places I’d most like to travel to right now are London, New
York and Helsinki. That the places I will actually travel to this year
are the Lamington National Park in Queensland, Nannup in Western
Australia and the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney. (i.e. I’m thinking
urban, but I’m getting nature - not that that’s a bad deal at all, now
that I think about it :)”
Welcome/Terve Celia!
Excellent. Well done Celia and Dopplr!
(Blue mtns - very good.)
Yay!
yay celia! sounds like fun!
Thanks - it’s going to be fun. Looking forward to it!
i really hope that celia helps with feedback responses. i’ve written in twice about an issue and have receive NO response (it’s been at least 3 weeks). i sorta thought the feedback form was broken. i’ll ask my questions again.
1) can you please add travel destinations located in Antarctica? i’m working in Antarctica right now and my dopplr info says i’m at home because your system doesn’t include my location. try adding the following: Palmer Station, McMurdo Station, South Pole… all three in Antarctica.
also, i was wondering why i can’t display any of my travel info publicly? i really like providing friends and family with ways to keep in touch, and no one has to sign in to Flickr to see my photos, no one has to sign in to twitter to read my tweets… why can’t i specifically select to show my travel information publicly at
http://www.dopplr.com/traveller/elisfanclub
even if i knowingly select to do so?
thanks!
Hopefully you’ll be answering eMails faster from now on.
(Sorry, but I got really frustrated waiting for you to answer my questions. I love Dopplr, but I won’t be relying on you as a service for professional needs.)
heh, soon Dopplr will employ *all* of my old BBC mates :-)
Congrats Celia!
how many users do you have?
Yipee! Celia rocks! :)
