> UX Designer

Profile: https://flows.cv/nicholas

I find joy in bringing a touch of whimsy to digital interactions, with a design philosophy centered around user empathy. I have extensive experience both leading independent and interface from the ground up and integrating my designs into existing design systems. My technical background in web and mobile development informs my work, result I'm great in collaboration across pitching, whiteboarding, prototyping, and iterating on new experiences.
