Jamal Nichols
Formerly at Google, BMW, Wells Fargo, WalmartLabs. Run my own design consultancy in Silicon Valley now.
I got my start in teaching helping career changers make a transition into UX by way of a 10-week, full-time immersive program at General Assembly. I'm very passionate about teaching and mentoring-- I must be, because there's not a lot of money in this!
The unique perspective I bring to your design challenges is based on my unique background: because I'm a mix of very disparate cultures (American growing up in Germany), I connect subjects that other designers aren't able to connect as easily. This leads to seeing opportunities that would stay undiscovered if you worked with someone who does not have this perspective.I graduated with a Master's Degree in Media System Design from one of the top universities in Germany. Over the last decade, I've worked in all aspects of the design process at some point: frontend dev, engineering, visual design, prototyping/interaction/UX, product.

Good class, fun instructor, interesting take on the subject. I never thought of brand and UX as two parts of a whole.

Nice short and sweet intro course! I like the instructor's voice and he's so funny! Thanks Jamal you have a new fan :)
By Brenda West
This course gives a great overview on brand design vs ux design. I wish the audio were a little louder but the content is great.
By Amber Taylor
Super fun and engaging. That intro music was a little corny IMO but the actual lecture content was illuminating. I googled the instructor and he's very respected in the design field.
