There's no shortage of design tools. Here's the short list we reach for every week — and what we use each one for.
The core stack
We don't chase tools. We pick a few and learn them deeply.
- Figma for everything visual — wireframes, mockups, design systems, prototypes.
- Framer for marketing sites where motion is the message.
- Notion as a project hub — briefs, decisions, reference, retros all in one place.
- Linear for the actual work.
Why this combination
Each tool earns its slot by removing more friction than it adds. The moment a tool starts requiring its own process, we drop it.
