| Sara Kaandorp helps developers build like a team of hundreds by leading a successful design team with many talents. In this blog, we put Sara in the spotlight and share her side of the story. | ||

| Sara's family background, half Dutch, half Finnish, is not the only duality she has. Throughout her career, she has worked as a UX Designer in diverse industries, where she has gained experience and skills in both visual and product design. As she leads a team of four, she plays a central role in shaping Appwrite's overall look and feel from both a visual brand as well as the UX/UI of the product; a conscious decision to ensure that both product and visual design work closely together on a cohesive experience. |

| When it comes to being part of a team, and in Sara’s case, leading one, the key point is to unite people with diverse qualities rather than relying on those with similar qualifications. In her view, everyone has unique and impressive qualities, but no one has it all. Being a team involves supporting each other to cover all bases as a team, filling each other’s weaknesses, and, most importantly, placing complete trust in everyone throughout the process. "I always try to match people with different qualities, and of course, what matches with the objectives of Appwrite." | ||

| For anyone who wants to be a part of Appwrite, the advice is clear: "Be a part of the community first. Observe what we do, explore the projects people are building, and discover how you can contribute. Take initiative and be yourself; it’s sincerely appreciated." | ||

| Sara concludes her spotlight with some advice for designers: Never overestimate your skills, keep an open attitude towards learning, try to understand the 'why' behind things, and actively learn by asking questions. "Practice makes perfect. Always work on some side projects to make your learning much faster." |
