Course Overview

Responsive Web Design in Adobe XD is the sixth program in a series of courses developed to prepare you for entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you will learn how to create a responsive website with Adobe XD, a popular design tool. The course involves completing the design process from start to finish, including empathizing with users, defining their pain points, developing design solutions, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing designs for feedback. By the end of this course, you will have a new design project to add to your professional UX portfolio.

Dave, a Google UI and UX Manager on Google Maps was our instructor. After teaching us the concepts, he would give us a demonstration of it on Adobe XD and tell us to work on it. The work was judged by peers and this helped us collaborate and improve the project together.

"Taking this course was a good decision as I saw my salary rise by a 100% and more importantly, learnt how to create a design portfolio and approach clients."
