General Information

I'm a UX designer at Red Hat and an active member of the Fedora Design team. I'm passionate about free and open-source software (FOSS) and a strong advocate for open design.

To me, open design means making design accessible to all — both in the final product and in the process of how it's created. It’s about sharing knowledge openly and fostering community participation.

Within Fedora, I contribute to logos, web design, badges, event assets — basically anything that comes through the Design team’s ticket queue!

My entire design toolkit is open source — some of my go-to tools include Inkscape, Penpot, and Blender.

Offline, I love crafting (especially sewing and crochet), cooking and baking, puzzles and games, and spending time with cats.

Here's a photo of Sonny for the cat tax :D
