Thank you for this! I'm a tiny tadpole in the lagoon of design. This description of Figma was really helpful for me, as I've only used Canva in designing elements and presentations for my business. Increasingly frustrated with Canva, I'm now interested in testing out Figma.

I'm glad that resonated! The autonomy over your process using Figma is empowering..

If you're curious, my friend Tom and I are in the process of building out https://figmathinkers.com, to help with this particular problem.

Although there are dedicated apps like Miro and Mural, Figma could serve as an all purpose collaborative inspiration board

Mere send to front or back in Slides or Canva is like switching places in line at the DMV. Full on Figma layers is like an outdoor movie set with multi dimensional variation of location

Figma untaps the creative potential you didn’t know you had, removing the intimidation of learning the decades old powerfully yet not newbie friendly Illustrator
