Gurmit Shakhon is something of an experience
We're delighted to announce our latest London signing - Gurmit Singh Shakhon is our new experience architect down in the Big Smoke.
Movie buff, Gurmit, from Southall in London comes on board at a very exciting time for TH_NK. He joins us from LBi where he worked on big-name players such as BT, Sony PlayStation, Waterstones and Dunhill.
During his time there he was credited for an exceptional user experience on the Sony SingStar project. And that’s not all he has under his belt. He has a first-class honours degree in professional development from Brunel University, plus an impressive Graham Hawks award for the Best Dissertation 2007. Gurmit thinks he will bring us loads of headaches and pain because he questions stuff all the time but we think it’s a good thing. Pass the paracetamol.
I’m really looking forward to working in a much more creative agency and there’s so much space to learn, grow and work on different types of work.

Recruiting user experience professionals is always challenging to get the calibre of recruits we need, and I’m delighted that Gurmit has recently joined us. He brings with him a wide understanding of the key disciplines and practices required, backed up with solid working experience from one of the UK’s leading agencies. I’m really excited by the team's commitment and passion toward designing for experiences, and Gurmit has fitted right in with our User Experience Design team.
