What is Figma?
Figma is a design platform that aims to bring together powerful design features you already love and a more efficient workflow. Some features include:
Its plugins help to remove manual, repetitive work, bring in data, and power custom workflows.
- A modern pen tool: Draw in any direction with Vector Networks. No more merging or needing to connect to the path's original point.
- Instant arc designs: Design clocks, watch screens, or pie charts with the Arc tool.
- Be expressive with OpenType: Tap into advanced font features to fully express the brand.
Figma's Autom Layout tool helps users spend more time iterating and less time moving things around.
- Less manual resizing: Buttons can resize with their text and lists can rearrange themselves when items are moved around.
- Stretch to fill: Auto Layout components can now stretch left and right (or top and bottom) for easier responsive design.
- Design speaks development: Auto Layout’s padding, direction, and spacing settings translate directly into code, simplifying developer handoffs.
Its plugins help to remove manual, repetitive work, bring in data, and power custom workflows.
- Plugins for everything: Stock imagery, flow diagrams, color accessibility, charts, and icons.
- Designed for ease: A user that can build a website can build a plugin.
- Private plugins: Organization customers can create and distribute private plugins within their company.
Create prototypes that are like the real experience
Figma helps turn static design files into an interactive experience—no coding required.
- Intuitive build: Simply connect UI elements and choose your interactions and animations.
- Interactions: Define subtle interactions, like on click, while hovering, while pressing a button.
- Mobile-viewing: Experience designs in real life using our Figma mobile app, available for iOS and Android.
- Advanced transitions with Smart Animate: Automagically animate similar objects and create detailed transitions.
- Dynamic overlays: Create multiple layers of interactive content overlays.
- Animated GIFs: Use GIFs to represent motion designs, video elements, and subtle animations.
- All-in-one platform: Toggle between a design file and live prototype. Design edits appear instantly in a prototype.
- Shareable prototype: Share a link to your prototype. View it anywhere with Internet.
- Embedded commenting: Comment in a prototype. They carry over into the design file—so nothing gets lost.

Great Tool for User Insights
We leverage Figma for across the new product development process—to conduct early state concept testing and resonance testing and mid stage user testing on product prototypes. It's proven invaluable for deep design work such as this.
- Prototyping
- Defining user flows
- Building marketing collateral
- Gaining concensus on high level future state visions for an experience
- Licensing has a high price point, so not everyone on our team has access to all functionality
- Client or cross-team collaboration is limited and challenging if everyone does not have a license. The comment-only functionality for non-licensed users is severely limiting and a high point of frustration.
- The Miro plug-in is useless. I was disappointed to find that it essentially just imports a static, un-editable image. It also does NOT update the image import automatically when a change is made to the original Figma file - extremely frustrating. I still can't understand what the purpose of this plugin is or the value it delivers.
- Not user-friendly or intuitive for folks who need to use Figma, but whose role isn't primarily design-related. Requires significant time investment to really understand, navigate, and utilize the UI.

Figma - impressive tool for app and web design!
We use Figma for wireframing the apps and websites we build, creating app maps, high fidelity prototyping, customer journey mapping, and managing our design system components.
- High fidelity UI design
- Component management
- Variations
- Design to dev handover
- Linking between files
- Advanced prototyping - e.g. carrying states and data across multiple screens
- Annotating things on designs like data points to capture, accessibility coding requirement - we use comments to note these, but would love different colours to distinguish comments for "Insights" (data) versus our own internal design team comments, or comments to the devs

Comprehensive Software for Both Design and Whiteboarding
I use the figjam whiteboard for brainstorming ideas, creating concepts, mapping out software features and roadmaps, planning content ideas. For designing UI screens, I use the regular Figma app to create quick mockups as well as high definition UI screens in both desktop and mobile sizes. Since both of these features are in a single app, it is easy for me to switch between planning a software feature, and designing the screens for that feature.
- Sharing designs with others
- Generous free tier
- Good drag and drop support for a variety of file types in both the UI editor and Figjam
- UI editor interface is starting to get complicated compared to early iterations
- Component system has a steep learning curve and is easy to make mistakes
- Figjam post it notes and other text and shape features often feel limiting since they can't be smoothly resized as compared to the UI editor

Best UI Design tool as today
We incorporate Figma into our daily workflow as a comprehensive design tool, utilizing its capabilities for a wide range of purposes including the creation of website layouts, posters, and banners.

Additionally, we leverage Figma for collaborative design exercises, fostering a dynamic environment where team members can collectively explore and evaluate various design ideas in real-time.

I use Figma for prototyping for our product. At least for me the price is the problem but not so much, I already saved a lot by switching Sketch to Figma.The scope of my use case is precisely the creation of prototypes for the team's product, this includes navigable prototype and static layout for developers. We use the navigable prototype for user testing and that's really good. I also use it to create the Product Design system, Figma's component system is wonderful, and you can do a lot with it.

Figma rocks. Try it and you'll agree.
Figma is currently being introduced more broadly at our organization, with plans to get all of our teams using it within the next few months in the UX department.
- Auto layout is amazing. Makes managing complicated UI a breeze.
- Prototyping is simple and strong. Not as sophisticated as Framer, but it's got all the basics.
- Figma is fast. It's quick to build and navigate, and extremely well performing.
- There's a feature in beta right now for interactive components. Need that in production so bad!
- Their prototyping could be improved to allow for a simplified experience. More interactive/dynamic prototyping would be great (e.g., fillable text inputs)
- I'd really love it if the prototype view could be pulled into a separate window, rather than having to be in its own tab within the application. So you can view prototypes and designs at the same time.
