Nirish Shakya

Lead Ux Design Lecturer @General Assembly

London, GB

At General Assembly, I teach Design Thinking workshops, weekend UX bootcamps and 10-week part-time UX Design courses. I get to share my skills and industry knowledge with other professionals and budding UX designers and fill the gaps in my own knowledge in the process. As you can probably tell, I can\'t stop talking about UX. Hence, I offer free online post-class mentoring to students if they want to ask me any questions after the course.Teaching adds a lot of meaning to what I do as a UX designer. Early in my career, one of my UX mentors told me that design has the power to change the world, but if you can teach others to design, you can change it even faster!
