Welcome!

@Digitigrafo  
@nelsonfelixgigante  
@heyvickywiz  
@juliarainbowx

If you’re ok telling me where you’re based (country) and your github username I can add you to our teams? [https://github.com/orgs/opensourcedesign/teams](https://github.com/orgs/opensourcedesign/teams)

@heyvickywiz There isn’t much ‘structured’ work for OSD right now, there’s always our issues [Issues · opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io · GitHub](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/issues) which are a bit out of date but I’m sure there’s plenty you can do if you’re happy to self-seek/organise!

Hello, my name is Victoria from Nigeria, a graphic designer transitioning into Product design.I recently learned about open source and what it is. Although i’m not quite sure i fully understand my role as a designer and how to contribute to open source projects, I’m open to mentor-ships and directions for my open source journey. Asides that, i’m really excited to be here, to learn and network with this community.
