Team Alignment Solutions; Automated Workflows within Figma; Advanced Research Integration

FigSense is an AI-powered solution built on Figma, designed to elevate the pre-design process for teams. By addressing challenges in stakeholder alignment, research synthesis, and feedback integration, FigSense enhances Figma's collaborative platform with new tools for clarity and efficiency. It centralizes inputs, automates repetitive tasks, and ensures seamless project documentation, enabling teams to start with a unified vision and work collaboratively toward their goals. FigSense transforms the way teams use Figma, fostering creativity, alignment, and productivity from the outset.

This project was conducted as part of the course User Experience Research and Design, in collaboration with teammates Junyang Hao and Olivia Acquaah-Harrison, under the guidance of Professor Wayne Chung.
