概念 (Notion)

10/10 (10 / 10)

Number of employees: 30+

员工人数 ： 30+

Field of activity: Personal productivity and collaboration with colleagues

活动领域 ：个人生产力和与同事的合作

The problem they faced: Notion is currently one of the flagship apps for personal productivity and collaboration. But in 2015, everything was rather gloomy and Notion as a startup almost died. The potential of the technical stack of that Notion’s version was insufficient, which led to constant problems. Failures hit the ambitions of the creators of Notion, Ivan Zhao and Simon Last, who dreamed of creating, as they claimed: “an application that would solve people’s everyday problems.”

他们面临的问题 ： Notion当前是个人生产力和协作的旗舰应用程序之一。 但是在2015年，一切都变得一片阴沉，Notion几乎破产了。 该概念版本的技术堆栈的潜力不足，从而导致不断出现问题。 失败打击了Notion的创建者Ivan Zhao和Simon Simon的野心，他们梦creating以求地创建了他们所宣称的：“一种可以解决人们日常问题的应用程序。”

How Figma solved the problem: To solve this, they had to urgently revise the UX and make adjustments to the UI of the application and spend many sleepless nights creating designs in Figma and transferring them to lines of code before Notion 1.0 was released in 2018. The user experience of Notion is so good that it won the title of one of the best in the history of UX. The creators of Notion say that real-time collaboration in Figma has played a key role. The company currently has over 1 million users.

Figma如何解决问题 ：为了解决这个问题 ，他们不得不紧急修改UX并调整应用程序的UI，并花了许多不眠之夜在Figma中创建设计并将其转移到代码行中，直到2018年概念1.0发行。 Notion的用户体验是如此出色，以至于它赢得了UX历史上最好的游戏之一。 Notion的创建者说，Figma中的实时协作发挥了关键作用。 该公司目前拥有超过100万用户。

运球 (Dribbble)

9/10 (9 / 10)

Number of employees: 40+

员工人数 ： 40+

Field of activity: Online platform for designers

活动领域 ：设计师在线平台

The problem: Dribbble is a promoter of remote work — absolutely all employees of this company work remotely. It is a comfortable way of working, Dribbble’s staff have their own flexible schedule and they can work from anywhere. But even with this model, Dribbble management faced a problem when it was necessary to create a well-coordinated collaboration of employees from different locations with different time zones as if they were in the same room.

问题 ： Dribbble是远程工作的促进者-该公司的所有员工绝对都在远程工作。 这是一种舒适的工作方式，Dribbble的员工有自己灵活的时间表，可以在任何地方工作。 但是即使采用这种模型，Dribbble管理层仍然面临一个问题，那就是必须创建来自不同地点，不同时区的员工的协调一致的协作，就像他们在同一个房间一样。

How Figma helped: Of course, Figma became the tool that solved this problem. All Dribbble employees were delighted that they could work on the same file in real time. Workflow accelerated, the team could focus directly on the designs, and not on the endless waste of time from file management. In addition, Figma allowed solving problems jointly not only by a team of designers and developers, but also by all stakeholders.

Figma如何提供帮助 ：当然，Figma成为解决此问题的工具。 所有Dribbble员工都很高兴他们可以实时处理同一文件。 工作流程加快了，团队可以直接专注于设计，而不是文件管理上无休止的浪费时间。 此外，Figma不仅允许一组设计人员和开发人员共同解决问题，而且还允许所有利益相关者共同解决问题。

As a result, Dribbble now not only creates designs in Figma, but also uses its API for integration, thanks to which you can send your work directly from Figma to your account in Dribbble with a couple of clicks.

因此，Dribbble现在不仅可以在Figma中创建设计，而且可以使用其API进行集成，因此，您只需单击几下，就可以直接将Figma的作品发送到Dribbble中的帐户。

灯泡 (Bulb)

8/10 (8 / 10)

Number of employees: 500+

员工人数 ： 500+

Field of activity: Green energy supply

活动领域：绿色能源供应

The problem: Bulb is a renewable or “green” energy supplier and has made great strides in its niche. However, despite financial success and brand recognition, there were many inconsistencies in the Bulb’s workflow. All products of the company were created by different agencies, and of course, each product had different templates, both in terms of design and in terms of code. Bulb needed to make a difference.

问题 ： 灯泡是可再生或“绿色”能源供应商，在其利基市场已取得长足进步。 但是，尽管在财务上取得了成功并获得了品牌认可，但Bulb的工作流程仍存在许多不一致之处。 公司的所有产品都是由不同的机构创建的，当然，每种产品在设计和代码方面都有不同的模板。 灯泡需要有所作为。

How Figma helped: The company decided to create its own unified design system, which would serve as a guide for all the designers and developers of the team. The result was a stylish and very easy-to-use Solar design system. It was very important for Bulb that all employees of the company, including designers, programmers, custom research specialists, were involved in the process of creating a design system, and so they all understood how everything works, because they contributed themselves.

Figma的帮助方式 ：公司决定创建自己的统一设计系统，该系统将为团队的所有设计师和开发人员提供指导。 结果是一个时尚且易于使用的Solar设计系统。 对于Bulb而言，非常重要的是公司的所有员工，包括设计师，程序员，定制研究专家，都参与了创建设计系统的过程，因此他们都了解了一切工作原理，因为他们做出了自己的贡献。

As a result, the company ensured that design sprints in their work processes increased several times thanks to Figma.

结果，由于得益于Figma，该公司确保其工作流程中的设计冲刺数倍增加。

古斯托 (Gusto)

7/10 (7 / 10)

Number of employees: 500+

员工人数 ： 500+

Field of activity: Online platform for small businesses

业务范围 ：小型企业在线平台

The problem: Since Gusto is providing assistance to small businesses in payroll, health insurance, and team management tools, Gusto needed a competent and high-quality UX. And although users liked how the platform works, the company understood that the experience of using the platform does not fully reflect the company’s philosophy of user service.

问题 ：由于Gusto正在为小企业提供薪资，健康保险和团队管理工具方面的帮助，因此Gusto需要一个称职的高质量UX。 尽管用户喜欢该平台的工作方式，但该公司了解到使用该平台的经验并不能完全反映该公司的用户服务理念。

How Figma helped: Rebranding is not an easy task, where at every stage everything needs to be coordinated with different stakeholders, and the company decided to use Figma as a solution to the problem. In addition, thanks to the collaboration function, the Gusto team kept everyone in the know at what stage the workflow is and why certain decisions are being made. As a result of the rebranding, the company has become more recognizable and at the moment it has more than 100,000 satisfied customers.

Figma如何提供帮助 ：品牌重塑不是一件容易的事，在每个阶段都需要与不同的利益相关者进行协调，公司决定使用Figma作为解决问题的方法。 此外，得益于协作功能，Gusto团队使每个人都知道工作流程处于什么阶段以及为什么要做出某些决定。 通过品牌重塑，公司变得更加知名，目前拥有超过100,000个满意的客户。

的GitHub (GitHub)

6/10 (6 / 10)

Number of employees: 1,000+

员工人数 ： 1,000+

Field of activity: Hosting for IT projects and their co-development

活动领域 ：主持IT项目及其共同开发

The problem: GitHub hosting itself is an excellent platform in terms of collaboration, where millions of developers, designers, product managers work and solve problems together. Nevertheless, the company faced the same problem as many others — GitHub employees work on a remote basis, and it was necessary to create conditions when people collaborate with each other just like they do when they are in the office. In addition, it was necessary to optimize the work processes, since there was no documentation, the templates were outdated, and the designers did not have a unified system — they recreated the same components over and over again.

问题 ：就托管而言， GitHub托管本身是一个出色的平台，数百万开发人员，设计师，产品经理可以共同协作并解决问题。 但是，该公司面临着许多其他问题— GitHub员工在远程工作，因此必须像人们在办公室时那样，在人们彼此协作时创造条件。 此外，由于没有文档，模板已经过时，并且设计人员没有统一的系统，因此有必要优化工作流程，他们一次又一次地创建相同的组件。

How Figma helped: To solve these problems, with the help of Figma, the company created a unified design system and began to document work processes. Also, thanks to the combination of Figma and its API, the issue with iterations and updates was resolved when GitHub users needed to make changes to their projects. From now on, the need to find and install other software that would update files has disappeared. And of course, the feedback process has accelerated, because with the help of a single link all employees could view or edit certain files in real-time.

Figma如何提供帮助 ：为了解决这些问题，该公司在Figma的帮助下创建了一个统一的设计系统，并开始记录工作流程。 同样，由于Figma及其API的结合，当GitHub用户需要对其项目进行更改时，迭代和更新的问题得以解决。 从现在开始，不再需要查找和安装其他可更新文件的软件。 当然，反馈过程也得到了加速，因为在单个链接的帮助下，所有员工都可以实时查看或编辑某些文件。

At the moment, all GitHub employees already consider Figma to be part of their culture and cannot do without this tool.

目前，所有GitHub员工都已将Figma视为其文化的一部分，没有这个工具就无法做到。

放大 (Zoom)

5/10 (5 / 10)

Number of employees: 2,000+

员工人数 ： 2,000+

Field of activity: Collaboration through video communications, online conferences

活动领域 ：通过视频通信，在线会议进行合作

The problem: Zoom is currently the leader in video collaboration. But despite the successful development of the company, the workflows could not be called ideal, as Zoom employees used many different tools: Sketch for design, Invision or Framer for prototyping and Zeplin for transferring materials to developers. Switching from one tool to another greatly slowed down the workflow and prevented proper focus on really important things.

问题 ：Zoom目前是视频协作的领导者。 但是，尽管公司取得了成功的发展，但工作流程仍不能称得上理想，因为Zoom员工使用了许多不同的工具：用于设计的草图，用于原型制作的Invision或Framer以及用于将材料传输给开发人员的Zeplin。 从一种工具切换到另一种工具极大地减慢了工作流程，并阻止了对真正重要事物的正确关注。

How Figma helped: When Figma came to into play, Zoom received all of the above tools in one package, its team no longer had to be torn to use different programs, which significantly accelerated their work, and they made significant progress in their projects. Plus, thanks to the ease of use of Figma, the company’s designers improved their skills and learned how to create proper components.

FIGMA如何帮助 ：当FIGMA来发挥作用，放大接收到的所有上述工具在一个封装中，其团队不再有被撕裂使用不同的程序，这显著加快他们的工作，他们做了他们的项目显著的进步。 另外，得益于Figma的易用性，该公司的设计师提高了技能，并学会了如何创建合适的组件。

外送 (Deliveroo)

4/10 (4 / 10)

Number of employees: 5,000+

员工人数 ： 5,000+

Field of activity: Food delivery

活动领域 ：送餐

The problem: Deliveroo is rightfully considered one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe, operating in more than 500 cities around the world. UI and UX of their application are very pleasant and easy to use. However, the Deliveroo team used the same approach as the Zoom team — they used many different tools that prevented them from working effectively together, which also resulted in problems with file synchronization in different versions of their application.

问题 ：Deliveroo被公认为是欧洲发展最快的公司之一，在全球500多个城市开展业务。 其应用程序的UI和UX非常令人愉悦且易于使用。 但是，Deliveroo团队使用了与Zoom团队相同的方法-他们使用了许多不同的工具，使它们无法有效地协同工作，这也导致在其不同版本的应用程序中出现文件同步问题。

How Figma helped: As soon as Deliveroo started using Figma, their employees immediately felt the power and effectiveness of this tool. Having created a design system for their product, the Deliveroo team was delighted with the collaboration, which improved significantly, and from the functions that Figma offered — from such trifles as Smart Selection to the ability to synchronize files, all this made the process of transition from idea to finished product much faster and easier.

Figma如何提供帮助 ：Deliveroo开始使用Figma后，他们的员工立即意识到了该工具的强大功能和有效性。 为他们的产品创建了一个设计系统后，Deliveroo团队对协作感到非常高兴，这种协作大大改善了。从Figma提供的功能(从诸如智能选择到琐碎的文件同步到同步文件的能力)，所有这些都使过渡过程成为可能。从构思到成品更快，更轻松。

爱彼迎 (Airbnb)

3/10 (3 / 10)

Number of employees: 5,000+

员工人数 ： 5,000+

Field of activity: Online platform for searching and short-term rental of private housing

业务范围 ：私人住房搜索和短期租赁的在线平台

The problem: AirBnB has a very good service with a thoughtful UX and elegant UI. The company did everything so that the user from anywhere in the world could feel “at home” while viewing information about other countries and places of residence. Nevertheless, the design process at AirBnB was very complicated and stressful, as they used several programs at once, devoting less time directly to design, and spending these precious hours on managing the workflow.

问题 ：AirBnB提供了周到的UX和优雅的UI的优质服务。 公司竭尽所能，使来自世界任何地方的用户在查看有关其他国家和居住地的信息时都能感到“在家”。 然而，AirBnB的设计过程非常复杂且压力很大，因为他们一次使用多个程序，直接花费较少的时间进行设计，而将这些宝贵的时间花在管理工作流程上。

How Figma helped: When AirBnB employees started using Figma, they realized that they had found the very tool they were always looking for. Working in the browser feature, faster feedback, the so-called “multiplayer” mode, when colleagues can share files with anyone and anytime, and other excellent functions of Figma, increased the productivity of everyone and created a feeling of unity in the company, whose mission has always been cohesion. Figma had a huge impact on the development of AirBnB, adding the open design culture.

Figma如何提供帮助 ：当AirBnB员工开始使用Figma时，他们意识到他们已经找到了他们一直在寻找的工具。 利用浏览器功能，更快的反馈(所谓的“多人”模式)(同事可以随时随地共享文件)以及Figma的其他出色功能，可以提高所有人的工作效率并在公司中产生团结感，他的使命始终是凝聚力。 Figma对AirBnB的发展产生了巨大影响，增加了开放设计文化。

优步 (Uber)

2/10 (2 / 10)

Number of employees: 23,000+

员工人数 ： 23,000+

Field of activity: Order trip, food delivery, etc.

活动领域 ：订单旅行，送餐等

The problem: Uber doesn’t need a special introduction — this giant is known all over the world, having several services, such as Ride, Drive, Eat, Freight, and others. However, this platform did not have a centralized structure and had many organizational problems. The Uber team wanted to create a single structure that would combine all their services in terms of compliance, creating all the conditions for productive collaboration.

问题 ：Uber不需要特别介绍-这个巨人享誉全球，拥有多种服务，例如乘车，开车，饮食，货运等。 但是，该平台没有集中化的结构，并且存在许多组织问题。 Uber团队希望创建一个单一的结构，该结构将在合规性方面组合其所有服务，从而为生产性协作创造所有条件。

How Figma helped: The company claims that they owe their current success to Figma, as its versatility and ease of use allowed it to accelerate the workflow in creating the Uber design system called Base UI, which ultimately became the standard for company employees. Thanks to Figma, Uber achieved centralization and organization at work.

Figma如何提供帮助 ：该公司声称，他们的成功归功于Figma，因为它的多功能性和易用性使其能够加快创建称为Base UI的Uber设计系统的工作流程，该系统最终成为公司员工的标准。 感谢Figma，Uber在工作中实现了集中化和组织化。

微软 (Microsoft)

1/10 (1 / 10)

Number of employees: 150,000+

员工人数 ： 150,000+

Field of activity: Software, computer technologies

业务范围 ：软件，计算机技术

The problem: Despite the fact that Microsoft has its own amazing Fluent design system, the corporation decided to go even further and simplify the design workflows as much as possible. Thus, Microsoft decided to develop plugins in Figma to help its designers to be more efficient in their work.

问题 ：尽管Microsoft拥有自己惊人的Fluent设计系统，但该公司还是决定进一步发展并尽可能简化设计工作流程。 因此，Microsoft决定在Figma中开发插件，以帮助其设计师提高工作效率。

How Figma helped: As a result, several amazing plugins saw the light. You are probably familiar with many of them, here are just a few:

Figma是如何帮助的 ：结果，几个了不起的插件看到了光芒。 您可能很熟悉其中的一些，以下是其中一些：

• Content Reel — plugin to find suitable content for layouts

  Content Reel —插件，可为布局查找合适的内容

• Themer — plugin that allows you to easily switch between libraries

  Themer-允许您在库之间轻松切换的插件

• Find and Replace — acts as a text editor in Figma, searches and replaces texts on a page

  查找和替换 -在Figma中充当文本编辑器，在页面上搜索和替换文本

• Paste to Fill — plugin for copying an image and pasting it as a fill on the selected layer

  粘贴至填充 —用于复制图像并将其作为填充粘贴到选定图层上的插件

• Button Resizer — plugin that adjusts the size of the button to the width of the label

  Button Resizer —将按钮的大小调整为标签宽度的插件

• Focus Orderer — plugin to automate workflows for annotation in terms of accessibility.

  Focus Orderer —插件，用于在可访问性方面自动化注释工作流。

It won’t be surprising, if one day Microsoft will acquire Figma. Will see…

如果有一天微软将收购Figma，也就不足为奇了。 等着瞧…

There are only 10 companies on this list, however, there is a huge number of other Figma customers worth mentioning: Twitter, Rakuten, Dropbox, Slack, Volvo, and many others. All this testifies to the fact that Figma is the future of designing and prototyping, and the companies that value speed, multifunctionality, and simplicity in their workflow are switching to this program.

此列表中只有10家公司，但是，还有很多其他Figma客户值得一提： Twitter，Rakuten，Dropbox，Slack，Volvo等。 所有这些证明了Figma是设计和原型开发的未来，并且重视速度，多功能性和工作流程简单性的公司正在转向此程序。

We also want to note that the example of companies such as Dribbble and Notion, where the number of employees is not so big, shows that anyone with a good idea can start his/her own project in the near future (especially during the COVID-19) having just 2–3 people nearby (or even doing everything by him/herself).

我们还想指出，例如Dribbble和Notion这样的公司(员工人数不是很多)的例子表明，任何有好主意的人都可以在不久的将来启动自己的项目(尤其是在COVID- 19)在附近只有2-3个人(甚至自己做所有事情)。
