Designing Android Apps on a professional level where your coders can't say "We can't code that design" is really difficult. You need to learn what is DP, SP, DPI and how you need to explain the sizes of your Android App elements in DPs and how you can define a great color scheme your coders can praise. What about exporting your design assets for multiple Android screen sizes and what about automatically creating the coded specs and style guide for your developers
Following Google Material Design Guidelines is not easy as a UI Designer and its a must learn skill for every User Interface Designer
From Design to Specs to Exporting assets and Coded Style Guide, learn all that in this course using Adobe XD

I
started my Freelance Design Career 10+ years ago and learned everything
the hard way myself. I went from scratch to end up working for
FORTUNE 500 companies like INTEL, PANASONIC and Coca Cola.
I love to simplify things about UX and UI Design when I teach to make it easier for my students
Working with Art Directors from Coca Cola and Project Managers from UK, I learned a lot in short period of time.
Improved User Experience of UK GP Tools Mobile App, few Games and e-commerce websites and created new Design patterns for showing passwords safely in password fields
Worked from App Icon Design to App UI Design, from wire-frames,
prototypes and Mockups Design. I have a hunger of perfecting User
Interface from all aspects
I am multi-talented person who have won One Gold Medal, won a nation-wide Poster Design competition from PANASONIC and won many Landing Page design contests on 99designs.
Worked with Clients all over the world mostly from USA, Australia, UK, and United Arab Emirates while learning a lot on how to deal with clients while freelancing and how to present your work to them
My ultimate aim is to make more Awesome UI Designers and ease the pain of learning from new comers in this field of UI Design
