I'm speaking on the 26th of April (tomorrow!!) at https://www.oggcamp.org/ in Manchester speaking about my much loved Open Source Design Diary studies project! which you can read here:
https://github.com/sprblm/Diary-Studies-Designers-in-OSS/
This study is now a few years old and i'd be great to get another one of these done. Please reach out if you'd like to see more data and insights from design, usability, user research etc. being done in OSS!

“I’m really nerdy about digital sovereignty as a topic right now. This was raised at penpot festival in 2025 and it’s a huge topic...largely about what companies own and do what with our data.”

“When you give user insights and feedback to FOSS - that’s an open source contribution!”
Check out this conversation with Canonical.
In this video, Open Source Designer Eriol Fox dives into the pragmatic world of design and usability within the FOSS ecosystem. We discuss how product designers and user researchers are driving long-term software sustainability through accessibility and smarter design.
This conversation covers the full spectrum of modern design development: from CLI design (Command Line Interface) and the "contributor-user" pathway, to why industry leaders are prioritizing design systems to keep their projects healthy. If you’re into Linux terminal workflows, human-computer interaction (HCI), or just building better digital commons, there's something here for you.

Penpot have announced their ambassador program and I’m excited and honoured to be part of the first cohort of ambassadors alongside some fantastic and inspiring folks. https://penpot.app/ambassador-program
Check out the announcement: https://community.penpot.app/t/penpot-ambassador-program-is-live/10405
I’ll be building community where I'm based here in the UK but also wherever my connections to open source software and design take me and my work.
I’ve long been a supporter of Penpot and design needs reliable and dedicated tools and teams that support the growing need for design in open source software and transparent and open source design as a practice.
I can’t wait to get working on our collaborative library and share the liberating and collaborative nature of open source design facilitated via Penpot! 💖✏️
Come and join all the ambassadors Penpot Community Hours, 20th March at 3PM UTC.

Myself and https://iamkingsleey.framer.website/ lead a session at https://chaoss.community/chaosscon-2026-eu/
We wanted to understand how the health of OSS and their communities are affected by design, usability and designers invovlement.
#oss #ossdesign #opensourcedesign #designinoss #design #chaoss
We want to continue understanding how design and designers affect the OSS projects they get involved in but so far we're understanding in what ways design/designers can be measured and observed in OSS.

I had a great time summarising some key points for inclusive and usable design in OS for the OSS sustainability lab.
An element of design that doesn't often get spoken about in the wider product space is how 'taste' and 'good taste' is a colonial hangover of design and how organisations and companies with power, money and influence, typically those that benefit from power over the marginalised global majority get to set the 'design tastes' and trends.
OSS and Hacker culture can fight that and be a space for everyone to modify, define and equitably design for people. OSS doesn't need to emulate big tech in either aestehics or design pratices but it should be a concious and aware choice if they decide to.

I had such a fantastic time mentoring
Akullo Babrafaith and Ocaya Sunday, two teachers from Uganda via the IFRC Solferino Limitless Youth Innovation Academy. They received a Honorable mention in the finalists list.They both are so dedicated to climate action through using technology in their communities, with farmers to protect the environment. Working through technology scopes, design thinking and user needs was a highlight of my design volunteering recently.

I'm super excited to be speaking at UX Scotland in June https://uxscotland.net/
UX Scotland has been an aspiration speaking engagement for many years for me. I'm so happy to be speaking there this year and connecting with the fantastic roster of speakers and attendees on designing in humanitarian and human rights technology spaces.
(I also love that they chose a photo of me doing volunteer co-ordination for Bristol Pride Festival back in 2022!)
