Figma
A collaborative interface design tool that runs in the browser and supports real-time teamwork.
Why this tool?
Figma removes design collaboration friction. Multiple people edit the same file simultaneously, developers inspect specs, and prototypes are built from the same source of truth.

Framer
A visual website builder that combines design and publishing, letting designers ship production-ready sites without writing code.
Why this tool?
Framer bridges the gap between design and development. You design visually with real components and interactions, then publish directly to a CDN—no engineering handoff, no Webflow export, no separate deployment step. The result is a real website, not a prototype.

v0
An AI UI generator by Vercel that turns text prompts into production-ready React components with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui.
Why this tool?
v0 generates ready-to-copy React and Tailwind code from a text or image prompt. Instead of building UI from scratch, you describe a component, get production-quality code using shadcn/ui patterns, and iterate conversationally—cutting UI scaffolding time dramatically.
