What are the advantages
of using design tools?

First, tools allow designers to

prototype ideas and
iterate on them.

Second, tools make it easier for

designers to test
their prototypes.

And third, design
tools make it possible

for multiple teams to
work on the same product.

UX designers use tools to create

wireframes, prototypes, and more.

Engineers use tools
to make adjustments

to the product before launch.

Other teams, like marketing,
use these tools to get

a sneak peek at

your new feature so they can
create supporting content.

Think of tools as a way to make

designing easier and
more collaborative.

The two tools you'll use in

adapt the tools you

use based on client requirements.

have similar features.

pick up a new tool.

Keep in mind, tools

are simply there to
support your work.

It's most important that you

like a designer.
