        Builds web page mockups, with interactivity.

        Designers these days should be thinking of the full web page. Hover states, transitions, where links go, accessibility, color, how it looks on mobile, desktop, 4k, etc.

        Using Photoshop to build websites is so 2010s and modern designers use something like Figma for that.

        Our companies designers use it to mock up application flows and how each screen, icon, font, colors, will look. Then our engineers use it as a guide for how the program should look and feel.

        Collaborative tool for drawing, sketching, charting, etc. in real time with others. Personally my team.uses it for the FigJam feature which lets us brainstorm ideas like on a whiteboard. It’s much easier to explain an idea with a whiteboard than in an email that tries to explain functions or features.

          That’s where it’s at… an “all draw” and paste and collab. It’s really quite nice.

        Figma is the future, really. It does so many things for designers across many spectrums. It’s no wonder Adobe wanted to scoop it up and shelve it all. It’s going to eat their lunch and they know it.
