Hello! 
I’m Pete Gordon from Ohio, USA. I’m a Software Engineer, Developer, Designer. My interests are particularly in touch and pen interfaces, web3 smart contracts (Stellar, CosmWasm), NextJS/React frontends, Postgres/SQLite and most recently InfluxDB databases.

Hi, I’m Peace. A product designer still learning and trying to find my way around. I heard about open source earlier this year when I applied to outreachy, although I reached the contribution phase I wasn’t selected. I love the contributions I was able to make and a community where what you do matters to someone.
I look forward to learning more in this community and mentorship

Hello,
I’m Victoria Nduka. I’m a UI/UX Designer (in training). I’ve been looking for ways to grow as a designer by contributing to Open Source projects. I just stumbled on a video of @brownie on Youtube explaining how designers can contribute to Open Source. (Let’s say my curiosity finally paid off). That video has led me to this design community.
I am so psyched to be a part of this community and I look forward to actively contributing to projects soon.

Greetings, I’m Ubochi Chibuike. Following the successful completion of my internship with Zuri Team, Inc., I embarked on a search for an opportunity to apply my newly acquired skills. In 2019, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geosciences (Geology). In addition to my coursework, I have undertaken several personal projects that showcase my approach to designing with the end-user in mind. While I have honed my practical skills in software-based user interface design, I prioritize design thinking and user research in all my endeavors. Currently, I am seeking ways to enhance my skills as a designer by contributing to Open Source projects. I am excited to become a part of this community and eagerly anticipate actively participating in projects in the near future.
Allen is here; I am a product designer situated in Nigeria, and I began working in this sector in the middle of last year (as a novice), and so far, so good. I’m having a great time on my current journey.
I’m interested in open source because it will allow me to connect with designers who will help me build my portfolio and obtain the experience I need to land a decent job in this field of technology.
I am willing to put in the time and effort to learn.
Hi all, I’m Felix, a product designer currently based in Lagos, Nigeria. I heard about Open source for designers the first time @Erioldoesdesign came for OSCAFEST in Nigeria years ago. I have been procrastinating on it but I have decided to take it seriously this time.
I look forward to connecting with brilliant minds and making meaningful contributions. I am excited to explore what the community has to offer!
