"Most design problems aren't 'design' problems. They're 'Thinking' problems.They're 'Clarity' problems.They're 'Too-many-tabs-open' problems. More prototyping. More pixel-shifting. More polish in Figma alone isn't going to help you with those. For me, without clear thinking, Figma just results in more confusion, more mess, and more mockups than I can mentally manage. The Problem: Figma wasn't the bottleneck - my thinking was Like most UX/UI designers, I used to jump straight into Figma the moment I had a product idea or a design task to complete."

The Problem: Figma wasn't the bottleneck - my thinking was Like most UX/UI designers, I used to jump straight into Figma the moment I had a product idea or a design task to complete. I'd tweak colors, mock up screens, build components, and then... get stuck."
Most design problems arise from unclear thinking, not from the design tools being used. Excessive prototyping, pixel-shifting, and interface polish do not resolve ambiguous goals or unclear user and business needs. Jumping straight into Figma encourages tinkering with visuals before defining who the design is for or how it solves the problem. Lack of clarity produces confusion, an overload of mockups, and repeated redesigns that waste time. Prioritizing clarity about users, problems, and business outcomes before building interfaces streamlines the workflow and makes design effort more purposeful and effective.
