I’m Violette Naa Adoley Allotey, joining you all from Accra, Ghana . I’m a children’s product designer, edtech founder, and a storyteller at heart.
On a daily basis, I split my time between designing STEM toys (like Awo the Little Engineer), creating educational stories and games for kids, and learning Python to bring these tools to life through interactive apps. I’m also a mom, so I often find myself blending real-life play and tech with my little one
I got into open-source design through my curiosity about how inclusive, culturally rooted learning tools could be shared and improved collaboratively. I love the idea of a global community shaping tools for equity in education.
I’m most excited about learning from others here, sharing ideas, and hopefully contributing some Afrocentric kid-friendly design vibes to the mix. Looking forward to collaborating!
Hi all! I recently found out about the Open Source Design group after hearing a bit about it from Eriol while I was at Penpot Fest in Madrid. I’m Carlos, originally from Seattle, but currently based in Margate, England.
I’ve been a designer for about 20 years now, working in tech, startup, agency and freelance. Currently I’m working at Cancer Research UK and for the last 6 years have been leading the build of our design system there. It’s a big effort and it’s just 3 of us on the team, so exciting stuff.
Over the last 6-8 months I’ve had a growing passion for open source… well everything really. Tech, software and more. I’ve been working for some time to de-Google my life and am working to find a way to get a solid footing in my anti-FAANG stance. It’s not easy as most of us know.
Outside of design and tech, I’m a music lover and have been DJing for almost 30 years. I’m a lover of many different kinds of music but lately 60s-90s era film soundtracks and piano composers have my attention. Though if I’m DJing you’ll find me playing more House, Disco and various other danceable 80s music.
I am a software developer based in Bengaluru, India with an avid interest in designing. At my day job, I am responsible for designing and then implementing those designs on the web.
I love open source, since my college days I have contributed to many open source projects such as AppFlowy, Felangel BLoC, React JS documentation.
I believe open source apps are as good as their counterparts but sometimes lack in design and marketing, if I can improve some open source apps by improving their designs, then that would make me very happy.
