The most popular platforms are Android and iOS. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in computer science or an equivalent field, in addition to a few years of experience with a mobile app development company, can put you squarely on the path of becoming a freelance mobile app designer.
What does a mobile app designer do?
A freelance mobile app designer works with clients to create new applications or features for existing applications for mobile devices. Freelance mobile app designers typically collaborate with designers, testers, product managers, and other developers.

In addition, a number of years of hands-on experience goes a long way in proving your worth as a freelance mobile app designer.
