Hey, I'm Smera – a designer with a flair for creating intuitive and stunning designs. Originally from New Delhi, I've made my way to Berlin to immerse myself in the thriving design scene. When I'm not busy pushing pixels, you can find me exploring the city's vibrant culinary scene or whipping up my next art masterpiece.

As a designer, I'm passionate about using design to solve complex problems and make people's lives easier. Whether it's creating a more accessible web experience for seniors, designing a personalized period tracking app, or developing a comprehensive design system for a company, I love diving into new challenges and finding creative solutions.

When I'm not working on design projects, I'm actively involved in open source contributions through organizations like The Fedora Project, and I'm always looking for ways to give back to the community.

And when I'm not working or indulging in my creative hobbies, you can bet I'm playing video games. I love everything from RPGs to puzzle games, and I'm always down for a good co-op session.

I started using Fedora in 2014 after attending OSCAL, later becoming a Fedora Project contributor and the first Fedora Ambassador from Albania. Since then, I have been involved in various teams within Fedora, primarily focusing on DEI and mentorship.

Currently, I am part of the Fedora Council as the DEI advisor.
