I’m expanding my portfolio so I’m in the search of open source projects. Please let me know if I can work on any open source project. I am an end-to-end designer, I’ll do research and design.

Did you have a look at the [Job Board](https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/)? It often focuses more on icons and graphics, but occasionally we also have research and product design.

[LibreOffice design team](https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design) could use more designers.

The “Get in contact” section in the link I gave is a good start. A ton of work is going into analysing [user reports](https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=needsUXEval%2C%20&keywords_type=allwords&list_id=1057341&query_format=advanced&resolution=---).

During each weekly meeting (Jitsi audio call), a handful of reports are tackled. Commenting goes on in the reports continuously.

Reading the [design blog](https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/) also gives an idea of what is happening.
