Gabriel’s notes
Quick take: Microsoft Designer is a tool that enables users to quickly and easily create stunning designs.
I saved this under Design & creative because it can help you generate, edit, or enhance creative assets (images, design, branding).
Good fit if you want to:
- generate, edit, or enhance creative assets (images, design, branding).
- build, test, or ship software faster (APIs, dev tooling, code assistance).
