Great listen. Any suggestions on things I can do in my free time to contribute to the design space in some way? Have 0 design experience myself but I feel like this is an area of Bitcoin that could be speaking to me...

One of the biggest misconceptions about design is that you need to have UI skills or some kind of design experience to contribute. You really don’t. Even if you have zero design background, you can still add value.

Think about the apps you use—what parts feel confusing or hard to use? If you just take a little time to review your favorite app or product and drop some feedback on GitHub, like “Hey, this part didn’t make sense to me,” or “This could be worded better,” that’s already super helpful. Even just tweaking copy can make a big difference.

Happy to help you get started or point you to some projects. If you’ve never opened a GitHub issue before, I can walk you through it. What are some Bitcoin products, apps, or wallets you’ve used recently?

This is my github, I've made some small contributions where I could (mostly with typos)
