Everything that concerns creative work, getting to express what I have in my mind visually, and anything that concerns rapid prototyping is how I use Figma. Recently, I took part in a hackathon where I used Figma for rapid prototyping to build a solution that aimed to solve the issues of waste management in Cameroon. Figma helped me in three ways: first, it allowed me to collaborate with my team members; second, it helped me visualize what I had in mind in a way that made sense; and third, it gave me a lot of tools that helped me give a visual meaning to the particular solution we found. So that is how I use Figma for rapid prototyping, and at the end, we were able to win first place at that hackathon, which I was really glad about. Using Figma in that hackathon made a difference for my team because we were all already used to the tool, so we chose it as the best option. We were a bit biased when it came to choosing a particular tool since Figma has been our go-to for different collaborations. I can add that there is a cool new feature introduced by Figma recently that allows you to transform images into vectors, and I was able to use that feature to generate custom illustrations that matched our brand. That is something specific I can recall from that particular encounter.

I use Figma as a web-building service component, which involves a visual build and code part where I drop in visually and write code. Figma claims itself as a no-code solution, enabling me to extend its capabilities with a hybrid kind of web page builder. I specifically use Webflow Business Enterprise accessed through webflow.com. Webflow Business Enterprise is a plan that I, as a freelancer, use to enable businesses to have their websites in Webflow, where I build them tailored to their specific brand and identity through designing web pages, contact pages, service pages, and home pages crafted to the specific brand, which I then host. If I were pitching to a huge firm, I would tell them I can get them a website hosted on an enterprise-grade Webflow hosting service, as Webflow provides hosting with a basic plan, a CMS plan, and an enterprise plan for fast-paced marketing teams that require Webflow Enterprise plan for large environments where they have four to five developers on the project and need to push out content daily and blogs daily. I am an end-user who designs using Figma for my clients. My usual use case for Figma pertains to web design, where I create designs for websites tailored to the end-user. For instance, if a landscaping business owner contacts me, I first collect their information and whatever they need, such as a specific set of pages, then I use Figma to lay the basic foundation and decide on colors while getting their approval. I tag them so they have their Figma file for collaboration, and together we approve all colors, the number of pages, the workflow, the copy, and the text because design is ninety percent text before adding flair such as geometric shapes, vectors, nice backgrounds, gradients. Once the Figma design is laid out and approved, I start building the exact same thing on Webflow with precise measurements.
My main use case for Figma is as a UX/UI designer, where I create wireframes and UI screens. I also make my presentations through Figma presentation features. Additionally, I create prototypes using Figma prototypes and am currently using Figma AI tools like Figma Make to create a fully developed website to go live. Figma is my go-to tool for all wireframes and UI screen designing across all projects. Whenever we start a project, we begin with UX research, and the presentations of the UX research are made in Figma. The wireframes, both low-fidelity and high-fidelity, as well as black and white sketches of the final UI screen, are also made in Figma. Design systems and all visual elements are created in Figma, which supports many image formats for importing from Illustrator and other sources. We create the design system and then make the final UI screen through Figma, and create the prototype to show to clients or the concerned company for whom we are making the wireframes and screens. This is my main use case, and we use Figma daily. With the introduction of Figma AI features like Figma Make and AI prompting similar to ChatGPT and Gemini, it has become very useful for creating designs and editing images within the tool.
I am currently using the latest version of Figma. I keep updating whenever I receive an update. It depends on the project, company, or client I am working for. Based on their preferences, sometimes they use the enterprise package, sometimes they use the basic paid versions. I personally use the free version because I work for other companies only. For the past one to two months, I have not used Figma quite actively because I was trying the AI features. Otherwise, I use Figma for designs and building up design systems using variables and other features. With the latest updates, including AI integrations and Figma made, I have not explored them thoroughly yet as I was in a holiday mood. I primarily use it for design purposes, using FigJam for UX works and Figma for UI designs.

My main use case for Figma is to design pages for the website and new features and functionality. I haven't been doing it so much lately, but I definitely used to use it quite a bit more, designing new features, although I don't actually do the design, as there's a design team that works on it. One of the projects I worked on with Figma is a CMS system. Figma really helped clarify the requirements during the design and planning of the CMS for analysis articles because the designers would create a visual for the CMS, how it would work, and then we would iterate on it. It was a combination of design and then collaborating and iterating on the design.
My primary use case for Figma is designing a hybrid superannuation solution. It involves a web-based and human-based approach, utilizing Figma as the product's base components.
There are two primary use cases. It is used to be able to visually present ideas for different features with our existing templates that we already have created inside of Figma. We also use it to create clinical prototypes for user testing.
Figma is a cloud-based design tool that allows teams to collaborate in real-time on creating, prototyping, and iterating digital designs. With its intuitive interface and powerful features, Figma has become popular among designers and design teams. Figma's cloud-based nature ensures that designs are always up-to-date and accessible from anywhere. This makes it easy for teams to collaborate remotely or across different locations, fostering a more efficient and flexible workflow.
