Figma is an interface design application that runs in the browser, but it’s much more than that. I want to say it’s probably the best application for team-based collaborative design projects. Figma is a new tool with features almost similar to Sketch. Figma is the latest entrant into UI design tools that quickly supports a UX /UI designer in composing and designing interfaces. As a cloud-based tool, it helps multiple users work simultaneously on a project. We all have seen how Google Docs works. Figma offers similar features.
