    Team Size: 4 members?

    Prompt: My team participated in Fannie Mae’s Golden Hour Challenge where we had to evaluate a potential homebuyer’s data and determine whether they were ready to buy a home and if not offer steps that they can take to improve their situation. As a beginner in web design and my first hackathon experience, I focused on the visual aspects.?

    My Contribution

    User Interface Design: Created mockups and final version in Figma.?

    Interactive Elements: Used interactive features like clickable buttons.?

    Visuals: Selected green color scheme to invoke sustainability and growth. It also reduces and enhances readability for users. Used rounded edges on components for friendliness.

    Reflection:?

    What I gained from this challenge is the importance of creating a user-centered design and how communication and collaboration amongst working with a team. As my first hackathon and first time fully working with Figma it was a significant experience and has inspired me to continue to learn about web design.?
