I really enjoyed my time teaching Kjell at General Assembly. He's such a thoughtful and driven guy who is always asking the right questions. He's also always looking to grow his UX skills. He's an engaging speaker, a systems thinker, and a genuinely good person. Whether it be as a designer, a strategist, or a researcher, any team would be lucky to have him.
