Why We Use InVision for Our Design Team
Everyone is looking for better and more efficient communication and collaboration, this is especially true for designers. We have been searching for a tool that can revolutionize our design workflow and we’re glad that we found one.
InVision is a product design platform, which includes prototyping functionality for web and graphic designers to quickly prototype design without having the need to write code or change tools. Our design team are excited about using the Enterprise InVision app to quickly create prototypes and manage all our design needs. After using InVision, it became clear that this application could very well be the last design collaboration tool we will ever need.
