Figma is a very powerful application that runs online. There are virtually no platform boundaries when it comes to using figma because you can design within a web browser or using their desktop application made for windows and macs. Figma is similar to Sketch and Adobe XD but is the more powerful of the three when it comes to team collaboration and responsive, fast paced design. 

Figma is often compared to Sketch, but with the addition of great collaborative functions for UI/UX designers. It is possible to undertake real – time cooperation with several team members on one project and even see the changes implemented, live in the browser! This provides an opportunity for an ongoing discussion and remote, constructive feedback. Moreover, you may also make use of Libraries, where your team members will have access to all the design elements you have prepared beforehand! A change in one library element, eg. Style Guide, results in an update applied to all the projects.

One of the latest features of Figma is developer handoff as well as creating rapid prototypes from the static screens. Those new features all add up to make Figma one of the most interesting tools to follow and learn as an UI/UX desiner!
