One effective method I've found invaluable is the 'Crazy 8's' exercise. This time-boxed activity pushes designers to sketch eight different ideas in just eight minutes. The fast-paced nature of Crazy 8's encourages quick thinking and rapid ideation, driving designers to think outside the box and prevent fixation on a single concept.

The benefits of this method are twofold. First, it reorients our focus on developing innovative solutions centered on functionality and the user experience. Second, it paves the way for a broad range of ideas, from which the most promising ones can be further iterated and refined.

We should transition to Figma after we've gone through this creative brainstorming process. Then, with a clear and refined idea in mind, Figma becomes not a starting point but a powerful platform to visualize, perfect, and share our ideas.

In this case, Figma becomes the closing act of a magnificent show. It's where we can fine-tune our ideas, making them come alive with beautiful details, ready for user testing and feedback.

As designers, we must remember that our tools aid our creative process, not define or limit it. So, before we "Figma-fy," let's Sketch and give our designs the free-flowing, functional start they deserve.
