Design tools are the various software, methods, instruments, and techniques that designers utilise to conceptualise, prototype, iterate, and communicate their ideas. They aid in the visualisation, simulation, and testing of designs, be it for graphic design, product design, web design, or any other domain.

Design tools play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the designer’s vision and the client’s requirements. They facilitate better communication, streamline the feedback process, and ensure that the design meets the desired outcomes.
