Are you using the right tools? The 2017 Design Tools Survey

over 5 years ago from Taylor Palmer, I do the UX

Hi everyone,

I've been waiting for someone to release a survey about design tools. It's one of the most confusing parts of our industry: which tool should I use? What do I learn next? We are experiencing an explosion of competing tools and innovation, but no one is capturing it as it happens.

I still haven't seen a survey come through yet, so here it is. What tools did you use this year?

  Thanks, Emily! It's cooking now. Approaching 1000 responses, and the results are interesting!

    That's really good! You've done well there! I struggle to get that when we run surveys on some of our platforms. I'll keep an eye in my inbox!

Going through this survey made me realize how much I use Figma for all the different areas of the design process.

  Figma has done a great job of closing the gap. Quickly glancing at the responses, I'm seeing a lot of people who aren't using it yet but are excited to learn it.

In my case, the tools I'm using and the ones I would like to (or should) use don't match at all. Even so, I look forward to seeing the final result.
