I&#8217;m Ana, and I&#8217;m excited to be joining the team as the new Community Manager. I&#8217;m incredibly inspired by everything you guys are doing, and I can&#8217;t wait to get to know you and be a part of this awesome community of makers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">A little bit about me: I grew up in New York City and was surrounded by artists for the first half of my life, and computer programmers for the second. I&#8217;ve worked as the community manager for the popular Manhattan-based coworking space <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwc.co\/\"><span class=\"s1\">New Work City<\/span><\/a>, and then spent my time consulting with tech startups. I geek out over digital communities, innovation, and personalized manufacturing, which is why I&#8217;m here.&nbsp;I believe that if you give people the tools to create the world around them, more often than not, they&#8217;ll surprise and inspire you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">My being a New York native is something I think will come in handy as we grow. I plan to help Shapeways make a big splash with my local geek friends, and in NY&#8217;s many networks of designers. We already serve an amazing international community, and I&#8217;m looking forward to keeping us connected, and making us more than the sum of our parts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">When working with communities in the past, I found myself running lots of in-person events, and got see firsthand how valuable it is to make sure you connect with people face to face. That&#8217;s something I&#8217;d like to take into my adventures with Shapeways. Wherever I travel to, if there are community members there, I want to hold a meetup, grab a beer, and bring us all together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Shapeways represents a revolution in product design, and a new frontier for using tech to make things that matter to us. I&#8217;m honored to be part of it. I believe the community is Shapeways&#8217; greatest asset, and we need to continue making this a place where daring, creative people are empowered to defy boundaries. I&#8217;m excited to make friends, listen, learn, and help keep you guys at the center of the equation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Luckily, Bart will be sticking around, helping me settle into my new role and continuing to support the community on the tech side of things. I&#8217;ll see you on the forums, on this blog, during our screencasts, and in person at our meetups. I&#8217;ll also be available directly through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/contact\/\"><span class=\"s1\">contact form<\/span><\/a>, so don&#8217;t hesitate to shoot me an email.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Shapies!
