Adobe XD is a vector based design tool developed for UI/UX design by Adobe. One of the leading programs used for User Experience (UX) design, it took the industry by storm with its seamless design to prototyping capability. In this course we will work from the ground up, going through the interface of Adobe XD and each tool to ensure you learn the program and get comfortable using it.


I personally have been using Adobe XD since beta and have made many tutorial videos over the program on my YouTube channel (Caler Edwards). I have gotten to know the program extensively over that time and I think that's what will make me a great teacher for you!

In this course we will go over several principles of UI/UX and how to use them in your designs. This way you can take what you learn from this course into your own projects. After all the goal of this course is to get you started in your UI/UX design career. Have a great day!! I hope to see you in class!

Caler Edwards has thus far been an amazing instructor and has given so much value. He doesn’t speak to fast nor too slow. His voice and pitcher are calming and greatly conducive to learning. He keeps information relevant and is a straight to the point teacher. So far this is definitely worth the purchase. I am excited to see the rest of the course.
