A Figma Resource for Beginners: 5 Time Saving Tips
By: Tori Krouse
As a marketer at an early-stage venture studio, I work with an incredible team of expert designers and UX wizards. Figma is their HOLY GRAIL. It was intimidating at first, watching them create prototypes and build brands, only contributing in the comments. But after a year and a half of using Figma, I’ve upped my game. And I’m really glad because Figma is a top-notch tool for marketers too. We have separate workspaces within Figma for each of our incubations and portfolio companies, where we can create, collaborate, review, comment, share and export files in no time. I’ve used a handful of tools to create content, but none of them give me as much freedom as Figma.

If you’d prefer to have a plugin do the work in a fraction of the time, you’ve come to the right place. Meet Remove BG. With the click of a button, image backgrounds are removed automatically. Seriously, IT’S MAGIC! To use the plugin, right click an image, scroll down to Plugins,scroll over to Remove BG, and then hit Run.
