Draw informal diagrams and sketches to explain ideas and flows.
WHY HEREKeep early discussions on the idea rather than the pixels.

Figma
Design interface layouts and share prototypes for review and collaboration.
THE SELECTION NOTE
Why it’s here
Figma earns a place as a design conversation space. A shared prototype can expose missing states and unclear navigation before development. Start with a short flow that someone else can follow without an explanation.
Who it fits
Interface designers collaborating on prototypes and design systems.
A task to try: Prototype one task from start to finish
- Choose one task, such as submitting a request.
- Design the entry screen, the action, and the completion state.
- Ask a collaborator to follow the prototype and note where they hesitate.
Where to be careful
A clickable prototype does not validate production behavior. Keep design review separate from testing working code, and check sharing permissions.
