When to use wireframes and when not to

    I'm not sure I understand your distinction between wireframing and sketching. Are you suggesting that sketching doesn't roughly add space and layout to what you're showing? I wonder if flowcharts might be more worthwhile if you're looking to avoid layout in order to evaluate simple workflows and basic IA.

    I do agree that there isn't much need for sketching and wireframing because of the ease of creating high fidelity designs.

      It's definitely possible I'm just below average when it comes to sketching. But I can iterate through say internal navigation components for example 100x faster in Axure or Figma than I could hand-drawing them. Especially if you're talking "pixel perfect" design.

      But again, totally willing to admit there's folks out there just way better at hand drawing interfaces than I am.
