Sketch vs Figma – Why I switched!

Sketch or Figma? Which should you use? In this video I’m telling you my reasons for switching! Download my free guide for creating a design system in Figma here: http://charlimarie.com/design-systems

It feels like there are a million design tools we’re supposed to be paying attention to, but completely switching to a new tool can mean a new workflow, new things to learn, new processes… it’s a lot of effort! Recently I switched from Sketch to using Figma and I wanted to tell you why I made the switch and what I’m loving about Figma!
