Loved the final result.
I sketch first but I've done so on a Wacom tablet for over 15 years. For me It makes it easier/faster to be able to copy and paste sketches and explore different directions.
me as well
so am I
It depends on what I’m creating. For logos, I might sketch a few rough ideas, but I typically go straight to the digital stage.
so do I, but mostly starting from sketch
Even using Framer only nowadays without any pre-wireframing in Figma - much easier and faster development.
Couldn't agree more
