Hey everyone,

I'm a UX designer with some professional experience, mostly on B2B dashboards. The thing is, I can't really show my work in my portfolio: no permission for screenshots, no official metrics, etc. So I kind of have a gap when it comes to "proof of work".

I'd like to do a concrete, public design project to show what I can do in my niche (B2B dashboards). One idea that feels right: find an open-source project (app, dashboard, B2B tool) that I can actually improve in UX and use as a case study.

I was wondering if anyone has experience or thoughts on this:

• Do you know any open-source projects (ideally B2B / dashboard / pro tool) whose interface could use some UX improvements?
• Have you ever done something like this (contributing design work to an open-source project)? How did it go?
• In your opinion, how do you find a project that really needs design help, instead of just "let's redesign the UI for fun"?
• How do you approach maintainers to propose UX improvements without coming off as the person who just wants to put their name somewhere?

For me, the key is to find something I can actually improve and from which I can show the added value (before/after, reasoning, impact, etc.).

If you have any advice, leads, or even specific projects in mind, I'd love to hear them.

Hello

I'm organizing a small party with some friends soon, and I'd love to put together a DJ set with interactive audio effects using touchdesigner . I was wondering if you know where I can find some free, easy-to-use resources for a beginner like me. Thanks so much I enjoy almost everything you guys post on this subreddit
