Social recommendations and mentions

• How can one gain experience from the start?

  Forget Sketch, it's yesterdays tool. If you want an alternative to Figma I recommend checking out Framer, which works like Figma but gives you the power to implement code and publish sites from your designs and has a mature community around it. Source: about 2 years ago

  Most ui designers/ux designers now work in Figma. Some might use sketch. You can see the tools they use in a survey here: https://uxtools.co/survey-2021/. Source: over 2 years ago

  But I graduating nearly 10 years ago and a lot of design tools have changed since then. For most digital interface design (mobile, web, ux, etc) 70-80% of us use Figma which is free to play around with. Design tools are kind of similar though. Source: over 2 years ago
