In the Figma editor, you will see a canvas with a grid. This is where you will design your interface.

To the left of the canvas is the toolbar. The toolbar has tools for creating shapes, adding text, and more.

To create a design in Figma, start by adding some shapes to the canvas. Then, add some text. You can use the alignment tools to position the elements on the canvas.

Once you have some basic elements in place, you can start to add colors and style your design. Figma has a color picker tool that makes it easy to select colors from an image or website.

When your design is complete, you can export it as an image or PDF file. You can also share your design with others by sending them a link.

Figma is a great tool for designing interfaces because it has a real-time collaboration feature that allows multiple people to work on a design at the same time. It also has a web app that runs in the browser and an Electron-based desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
