‫Hey, everyone.

‫This is the Figma website.

‫I want everyone to understand what Figma actually is.

‫So Figma is free.

‫There are some paid plans and I'll get into that.

‫But Figma is free.

‫It allows you to create amazing new eyes, allows you to collaborate with your team really easily,

‫and allows you to prototype and get feedback.

‫And it's an easy handoff for developers.

‫Let's jump right in so I can show you.

‫So this is their website.

‫Now, some of you may be using the web browser to log in.

‫And this you're going to sign up here and log in here.

‫But, you know, if you're really interested in using something like Fig Jam, which is one of the other

‫Figma products, you can use fig jam here as well, it allow you to easily brainstorm.

‫It's a really great tool, but one of the great things about Figma is the ability to just bring your

‫ideas to life, whether that's just creating, iterating and repeating that whole process.

‫Figma allows you to create some really beautiful designs.

‫I think one of the other great things is the collaboration aspect.

‫As you can see, just in this little illustration over here, you know, you have two people working

‫together.

‫You can see comments.

‫It's great for getting feedback.

‫If you're a design system nerd like myself, I know this may not make sense to some of you, but design

‫systems are really powerful.

‫They allow you to create components.

‫They allow you to use those components everywhere.

‫And there are some different distinctions between how you can use components within Figma, and I'll

‫get into that.

‫But components are really powerful.

‫It really is great to work with developers on how to use these components, what they look like, what

‫their different states are.

‫It's really great.

‫And the last part is developers can easily come in here and understand what exactly makes up one of

‫your designs, whether it's like a UI element that they're clicking on, they want to know maybe position,

‫they want to know, like if there's like a border radius, they can get all the CSS from Figma as well.

‫So Figma is a great tool that will allow you to work with your entire team, whether it's strategy,

‫design and even development.

‫Another great thing about Figma is that they have a bunch of resources.

‫I'm going to get into what is the community, but you can get files and templates, plugins and widgets.

‫It's amazing.

‫It'll really help speed up your workflow and share some of your designs even with the community.

‫It's a really great place.
