# Figma for frontend developer - tool only for designers?

When creating a project in figma, I came to the conclusion whether a front end developer should know and use figma? Since you work with User Interface, why don't you use figma?

## Is this tool only for designers? 

While browsing through job offers for juniors, I can see the skill of figma in some of them.  Of course, at this stage I am not ready to work as a junior yet.  I created my figma project and it was a fun job.  First of all, I have a figma online at my fingertips.  Apart from paint, pixlr, adobe XD and lightroom, I didn't use any other graphics tools.  However, creating a store design is quick, fun and fun.  Where's writing the code 🙃? 

## A few hundred lines back

When I was writing a few HTML and CSS based projects, I never created the project in designin tool, I wrote the code, and only then improved the elements.  From today's perspective, I was wasting a lot of time.  Unnecessarily!  Compared to the current approach, I have a few comments and conclusions.

### Productivity

Due to the fact that I have created a project, when writing the code, I do not think about the appearance only of the implementation, readable code and layout of the application

### Files

I Import svg, change its content in figma, export it as I want.  Ready.  Perhaps there is another way? At this point, for me - this approach is great!  I'm throwing out of svg what I don't need.  Boom, the picture is already in the app!

### Great fun

Thanks to the new approach, working with code is even more fun.  Sure, there are things that take a long time, but I'm still learning and will not stop.  When I manage to implement a given component in a short time, I am proud of myself, if the work goes slower, I get mad at myself.

### Organization

Thanks to the figma project, the coding work is more organized. I can focus on what I do, I am more aware, I have a clear head.  Working in figma is a lot of fun and certainly less frustration than implementing a CSS that does not change the look... 
Does it only happen to me <3?

***CONCLUSION***

Do you need UI / Ux designer everywhere? 
Ok for complex applications yes, but is it a simple component too?

I am adding the admin view to my shop/store, do I need a designer already? In my opinion no. I'll do it myself in 30 minutes, especially since my Vue.js e-commerce store is quite simple at this stage.
