Prototype** ---- **Tools** * High-fidelity prototypes: Figma, Sketch (these two are very similar, so if you are familiar with one, it's very easy to pick up the other.) * Low-fidelity prototypes: Basalmiq If you don't have a preference, I recommend **Figma** because: 1. It's free for 3 projects, but you can create as many files within each project as you want. 2. It's easier to manage files on Figma. 3. It allows easy real-time collaboration. 4. It has a [Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/Figmadesign) with comprehensive tutorials between 5-10 minutes **Take advantage of free Figma templates**: https://www.figmacrush.com/free-figma-ui-kits/ **5.
