Design Tool

We want you to feel comfortable using any design tools you prefer. However, our community primarily uses Figma for all design files. Please ensure your designs can be easily reviewed and integrated into our main Figma design file. You can create as many variations as possible to explore ideas.

Please don't hesitate to comment with any questions, updates, or feedback. We'd love to hear from you! ❤️

Hello @Mayaleeeee
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work on this project for the mentorship project.

I have started researching to get more inspiration on the design and I'll be starting with creating the sketches for the contributor's badges.

This is the link to the design.
