Natalia’s full profile →Who teaches at UX Academy
Senior practitioners. Named. Accountable.
UX Academy (myuxacademy.com) is taught live online by 9 named, practising designers — not by course authors who recorded videos years ago. Each one below brings current or recent senior industry experience. You can see who they are, where they have worked and which course they teach before you enrol.
Classes run live on Zoom, Wednesday evenings, 6:00 to 8:30pm UK time, capped at 15 students, and live sessions are recorded and made available to enrolled students. How this differs from Designlab’s “UX Academy”.

9 instructors. All practising.
