About ux360.design
Understand behaviour. Then design.
Why ux360.design exists
AI can produce screens, personas, and research reports in seconds. It cannot tell you whether any of it is true. ux360.design exists to teach the judgement that survives that: understanding what frustrates people, what moves them toward a milestone, and what they keep coming back for. That understanding is how products find their fit, and it is learned, not generated. We teach it in plain language to anyone who wants to learn UX or sharpen the skills they have.
Why did I start the blog?
I started ux360.design, formerly “bestDesignTrend”, to write about solutions of UX tools that I had to figure out myself, many of which were frustrating to find. Eventually, I started writing about the core foundations of UI and UX since a lot of people wanted me to teach them UX.
As more and more people have gotten interested in my “foundations” articles, ux360.design has become a blog where I write about some of the most underrated and hard-to-find design topics.
What is ux360 all about?
ux360.design offers easy-to-understand articles on complex UX topics. Basically, I break down complex subjects of UX into small, understandable chunks with the aid of real-life examples.
ux360.design is also the place for my occasional personal design blogs, where I write about my research and findings. My personal experiences of product design are an integral part of every ux360 article.
About Shirish Shikhrakar
Shirish is a certified Google UX Design professional and a full-time UX/UI designer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. He started out his career as a software developer but the position never really clicked with him. Shortly after starting his new career, he also started working on small-scale design projects for the company’s clients. That was when he realized that he had an undying passion for UX/UI design, and everything fell into place.
He immediately switched careers to become a UX/UI Engineer. After the career switch, he worked mostly on providing Silicon valley startups with interface and experience solutions. Some of those companies include Phil, Traktivity, etc.
