Hello Tor!

With me transitioning to ED some reorg will have to happen to accommodate tasks I was leading into other hands  You might have already seen the 2 PMs job posts we have online:

https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs.html.en     Besides PMing things at Tor I was also leading the UX team. Back in May I asked Antonela if she would step up and take the leadership of the team. Antonela is amazing as you all know already  she strongly shares the vision for the UX team that I have and has demonstrated amazing skills at actually executing it, not only on the design part of it (which she has being great at facilitating the collaboration of all stakeholders in the process) but at organizing projects related to the UX team vision, like leading the selection of illustrators  and their projects or putting together user testing processes.

I am very happy to say that Antonela said yes to my question and since then has already taken the leadership hat but we haven't yet announced it to the community so I am doing it now. If you wondering what are the other people in the UX team she will be leading, they are Helen (our User Research Coordinator), Emma (our Localization Project Coordinator), Alon (our illustrator) and will also help organize projects that Hiro (our Services Admin) is helping us with.

I asked Antonela if she would share some words on her new role:

--- start of Anto words ---

I'm grateful for this opportunity. Finally, I found IT people who have the same concerns I have!

We want informed and educated users. We want users who have the power to decide. We want to make technology that makes people free. The main UX team aim is to collect all those voices around the world, understand and empathize with them and make a technology that all can use. I hope we can continue working as a bridge, with all the teams around The Project, improving our technology for people without compromise their safety and privacy.

So! Here is the official announcement \o/ join me on congratulating Antonela on this new role and supporting her too!

#GoAnto!

cheers, isabela
