A graphic using Penpot.app's dark blue gradient background with hot pink and white graphics of a megaphone speaker and a ribbon with the name 'Eriol Fox' with anime sparkles in pink and white. At the top there is a heart and pencil logo and the title 'penpot Ambassador'. The photo is of Eriol who is a slim, femme presenting person with light skin ton, pink and black glasses, pale pink hair, large hoop earrings and is holding a microphone while adjusting their glasses and smiling at the camera.

@penpot.app 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. penpot.app/ambassador-p...
