ABOUT NICOLE
Hi, I am Nicole, a UX UI designer who enjoys turning complex ideas into clear, intuitive digital experiences. With a background in communications, finance, and client relations, I bring a strong mix of user empathy and business awareness to every project. I design with the goal of creating products that people actually enjoy using and teams are excited to build.
I earned my UX UI certification from Ironhack and a Product Management certificate from BrainStation, and I quickly applied that training in real product environments. At Make it MVP, I worked hands on with developers and product managers to design and ship features under real deadlines, gaining valuable experience collaborating across teams and moving ideas from concept to launch.
I use AI as an active part of my design process to move faster and design smarter. I apply AI in UX research to synthesize user feedback, uncover patterns, and support confident decision making, and I use Figma AI to speed up ideation, wireframing, and iteration while keeping usability and clarity front and center.
My strengths include user research, wireframing, prototyping, and interface design in Figma, along with translating insights into clear design decisions that support both users and product goals. I thrive in fast paced, collaborative environments and bring curiosity, adaptability, and intention to my work. Bonus points if there is a cafecito nearby.
PHILOSOPHY
Design for people first.
Great products come from understanding real users, making thoughtful decisions, and using modern tools like AI to build experiences that feel simple, human, and impactful.
“I had the opportunity to work with Nicole during her internship, and she did an absolutely fantastic job. She took the lead in managing the development of the concept for the product UX/UI, and the deliverable was above and beyond. She was able to navigate a complex topic quickly and collaborate with a dynamic team to move the project forward on a tight schedule. Very well done.”
