Figma
Figma is a cloud-based design tool created to facilitate design and prototyping all in one place. Its standout feature is accessibility; users can access Figma from any internet-connected device, enabling multiple users to collaborate on designs simultaneously in real-time. This seamless collaboration is a key factor that distinguishes Figma from other design tools. Figma is tailored for web design and mobile application UI/UX design, boasting an intuitive interface that makes it accessible even to non-technical designers, while still offering a plethora of advanced features. For example, Figma utilizes a vector network-based design system, allowing for precise adjustments to designs. Additionally, its prototyping capabilities enable users to transform static designs into interactive models for usability testing, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of the development process. Moreover, Figma is built with team collaboration at its core, providing a unified environment where designers, developers, and product managers can work together effortlessly. Feedback on designs can be easily annotated directly on design files, and any changes made can be viewed in real-time. Figma also incorporates version control features, simplifying project management by allowing users to access the history of previous design alterations. Another strength of Figma is its ability to integrate with various tools and services through plugins and APIs. For instance, by connecting with project management tools and code generation tools for developers, the transition from design to development can be streamlined. This integration effectively bridges the gap between design and development, enhancing both the speed and quality of projects. A prime example of Figma's effectiveness is when a startup uses it to unite a global team in designing a product within a remote work environment. In such cases, real-time feedback and design adjustments are crucial, making Figma an invaluable tool regardless of physical distance. Furthermore, even large organizations can leverage Figma to establish design systems and consistently apply brand guidelines. Figma is set to play an increasingly vital role in democratizing design. Individuals with limited design skills and knowledge of design tools can produce high-quality designs using Figma. As it continues to serve as a conduit between design and development, an increasing number of companies are expected to adopt Figma to improve efficiency in their overall product development processes. Looking ahead, Figma will remain a pivotal player in the design landscape and will continue to redefine how creative work is conducted.

The Rise of Design Engineering
In recent years, the term "design engineering" has become increasingly common in software development. In the past, design engineering was discussed as an industrial design field that involved many people involved in the manufacturing and construction of the target product, and as an approach to both pursuing convenience and utility for the user and reducing lead time and maximizing loss efficiency in the manufacturing process in the manufacturing process, which involves a wide range of processes. Recently, this approach has been expanding into the realm of software development.
