Salma is looking straight at you, sat at her desk. Behind her is a wooden wall with VHS style art on it depicting HTML and CSS in VHS cover art form, there's a bit of a shelf behind her on the right where you can see a plant and a GitHub stars trophy. In the foreground there is a microphone. She is folding her arms, wearing a black high next top and thick rimmed black glasses, sitting on a cream chair that you can see the back of. To the left behind her there is a glimpse of a pink patterned chair and another plant.
