Hi! My name is Smera, and I’m from India. I have been dabbling in art for as long as I can remember. While I prefer the traditional mediums like watercolours, sketching, etc., I have also started learning about digital design, doing mainly illustrations, typography and graphic design. 

In my free time, I like to paint! I have an art page on Instagram where I post my work. 

I currently study Computer Science and Design and up till now I have studied drawing, visualisation, visual design and communication, design perspectives and processes and currently I am studying human-computer interaction!

I do not have any prior experience contributing to open source. I did learn a bit about the Fedora open source community last year (I was really intrigued by the Happiness Packets Project)

I’m really excited about contributing to this community. I always had the misconception that open source contributing was always tech related, but I’m really glad that there’s a design part too!
