👋 Introduce yourself!

Hi!

I’m so glad that Figma has decided to host its own community.

I’ve spent long stretches using Axure as a primary tool, and one of the best thing about it is their forums. Ask a cogent question and expect an answer within an hour or two. It’s completely cordial and full of people who genuinely want to solve your problem.

Figma should be so lucky. I’m rooting for such a community to evolve here
.
Until then, see you in the peanut gallery!

Hello friends. I am Arlene Xu from Shanghai, CHN. I recently decide to change my career to UI/UX design area, now I am self learning design softwares and all things about design.

Glad to be here, and hope I can make progress step by step!

Hello Everyone, I too am glad to see Figma create its own community. I’m a long time (i.e. seasoned) UXD, IA, IxD and design tool user (all of them but primarily Figma, Sketch, XD, Axure). I’ve used each of these tools for long stretches of time so feel unbiased when I say Figma is the best of breed. I used to create full-blown interactive prototypes in Axure, but not many teams can spend that amount of time in an Agile environment now. I think the upcoming Figma interactive components may take us part way to Axure’s prototyping power (sans variables and conditionals of course). Current working as a Senior Information Architect at UPS and introducing Figma to our Digital Experience group. Cheers, Ben

Hey! I’m Andrew, a Frontend Designer (design & frontend code) in the Boston area doing design system and product design work at a digital agency called Sparkbox.

My favorite part of Figma is how it matches so much of the functionality of CSS, especially with auto-layout and components. Figma really helps you think in a code mindset without realizing it!

Excited to join you all! 🎉 Here’s my personal site andrew-spencer.com

What is up, why is it down? 😉

It’s true what they say, crises do bring people together.
So here I am, trying to find out why the heck is Figma down and hoping this won’t be happening too often!

Hi Everyone or مرحبا 👋 👋

I’m Momen, a Digital product designer from Egypt, I love reading 📚 and playing football ⚽ .

some people thinking that I am working with Figma because when it comes to talking about, I become like the most enthusiastic man and start talking about every little feature on Figma then go crazy no one can stop me 😁

I love discussions and talking with other people to exchange knowledge, curious always and always questioning is my principle 😃

Glad to be here and part of this lovely community ❤️

Hello,

My name is Reichart, I live all over the world.

My Twitter which is not design-focused, but often a 30K review of design, interface, UI, UX, as it applies to software, hardware, and (cough) humans.

I invented and designed Disney’s Animation Software before most of you were born LOL (true).

In the 80s and 90s I created many video games for Nintendo, PlayStation, 3DO, the Amiga, PC, Mac, and many more.

I use Figma for a dozen things, including as a scratch pad of ideas, for making blueprints, designing new inventions, web page layout, UI design, etc. I hope Figma gets better and better.

I use an old tool made by a friend of mine as well called Fireworks, in place of Photoshop. It is like Figma, but with raster abilities, but it is very old sadly (Adobe bought it, and shelved it). But like Figma, it can do a few very cool things that make it worth it over other tools.

But Figma is my goto Vector system now.

I made this traditional animation tutorial for those interested.

Feel free to ask me anything.
