At the beginning of my career as a UX/UI designer, I've mastered Adobe tools & mobile application design, especially for iOS. For sure, there were a lot of simple UI design projects - the only job was creating UI based on ready wireframes and specs. But this helped me to understand design from the inside and find weak places in customers' wireframes. Edits to these specs & wireframes and accomplishing projects that required design from the ground (from raw idea to wireframes, sketches, and then Hi-Fi's) opened doors for me to UX design.
