Hello! I'm Hylke, a product designer who codes

I was laid off in 2026 and I'd love to be able to create apps for Linux and contribute design for FOSS projects. I hope to gather enough monthly sponsors to sustain a minimum wage, so I can do this full-time.

Current goals:

  • Rewrite SparkleShare from C# to 🦀 Rust
  • Polish ✨ Bobby and submit it to GNOME Circle
  • Start an initiative so FOSS-projects can get ✏️ free design support from me

Even $1 a month helps.

Thank you!
