Hi there!

My name is Nicole and I design the parts of a product people don't notice until they're missing.

I believe as a UX designer I have the responsibility to create ethical solutions to complicated problems through creativity and fun.

Currently designing orchestration agent driven project creation at enterprise scale.

Past clients include Qualtrics and T-Mobile.

Based in Brooklyn, New York.

Selected work

Four problems, four systems.

About

Curious by default, ethical by principle

I'm a UX designer based in Brooklyn, New York. I believe design carries real responsibility. The systems we create have the power to shape how people work, communicate, and make decisions, so I try to build elegant, accessible, responsible experiences rather than just functional ones.

A lot of my thinking starts outside the screen. I look at the way everyday objects are built, the kinds of compromises baked into them - and ask what that logic could mean applied to software. I'd rather borrow a good idea from a doorknob than default to whatever pattern shipped last quarter.

Professionally, that shows up as a habit of pairing quantitative research with a lot of cross-functional whiteboarding. All the case studies on this site grew out of workshops with product and engineering, not just a Figma file handed over the wall.

Off the clock
  • Deep-diving podcasts and music (apologies in advance for oversharing random, half forgotten factoids in conversations)
  • Befriending the crows and pigeons in my neighborhood
  • Slow laps through specialty grocery stores, no list required
  • Collecting new art forms - my current rotation includes: basket weaving, knitting, and painting!
  • Falling down internet rabbit holes well past the point of relevance
