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.
