What role do you play in the OYAN community? What kinds of responsibilities do you have?
First of all, I'm a graphic designer. All of the materials available for purchase – workbooks, textbooks, DVD covers, logos, etc. – are designed by me. I am also responsible for the creative aspects (layout and design) of our websites.
