What is Figma?
Figma is a cloud-based UI design tool that allows you to create, prototype, and collaborate on designs with your team. It’s particularly useful for designing UI elements for apps and websites.
What is a UI Kit?
A UI Kit (User Interface Kit) is a set of pre-designed graphics files that can be used to speed up the design process. They typically include buttons, forms, icons, and other UI elements that you’d commonly use in a website or app design.
