Figma

Figma, launched in 2016, transformed the design world by offering a browser-based platform for UI/UX design. Unlike other tools, Figma enables real-time collaboration, letting designers, developers, and stakeholders edit a project simultaneously—like Google Docs for design! Fun fact: Figma’s name comes from “Figure” and “Gamma,” symbolizing visual precision. Today, it’s the go-to tool for over 4 million users worldwide, breaking barriers in collaborative and creative workflows.
