Figma - UI/UX Design
Figma Design - Collaborative Interface Design
Figma is design collaboration. The platform lets teams design together—real-time editing, comments, version history. Browser-based means you design from anywhere. Component libraries mean you build design systems. We've built Figma designs that translate directly to code, prototype entire user flows. The handoff features mean developers get specs, assets, code snippets. Figma isn't free—pricing adds up for teams—but if you need design collaboration, Figma is the standard.
