Figma is a San Francisco–based software company that offers a web-based platform for interface design, prototyping and collaboration. Its flagship product, Figma, enables teams to create and refine user interfaces, vector graphics and design systems directly in a browser, eliminating the need for local installations. The platform’s real-time collaboration features allow multiple stakeholders—designers, developers and product managers—to edit and comment simultaneously, streamlining workflows and reducing version control issues.
In addition to its core design tool, Figma provides FigJam, a digital whiteboarding solution that facilitates brainstorming sessions, wireframing and diagramming. FigJam integrates seamlessly with Figma’s design environment, enabling users to move effortlessly from ideation to detailed design without switching platforms. The company also supports a plugin ecosystem, offering extensions that automate repetitive tasks, generate data-driven content and integrate with third-party services.
Founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, Figma has grown rapidly as organizations worldwide—from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises—adopt its cloud-native approach to UI/UX design. The company serves a global user base, with major customer footprints in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Figma’s focus on accessibility and cross-platform interoperability enables teams to collaborate across geographies and device types, while centralized file management ensures alignment on design assets and version history.
Under the leadership of co-founder and CEO Dylan Field, Figma has secured backing from prominent venture investors and established itself as a leader in the design software space. The company’s emphasis on innovation, community-driven development and responsive customer support has contributed to its reputation as a preferred choice for product and design teams seeking a unified, cloud-first design environment.
