https://nicole-tollefson-ux.squarespace.com/ @dotnic I'm motivated by the potential of design to make life better, piece-by-piece, by making everyday tasks easier and hopefully a little more fun. I've been involved in designing digital interfaces for 20+ years, as an experience designer, an experience design team lead, a user research lead, and just enough coding to be dangerous at prototyping. I've worked with brands from multiple business sectors, including education, healthcare, travel, manufacturing, and retail. I prefer staying close to the craft in an individual contributor role, and leading as a mentor and writer, but have also enjoyed dipping into management for short stints. I have a special passion for all things related to inclusivity, representation, and accessibility. I'm very happy in my current role and not interested in new opportunities at the moment, but please reach out to me if you have ideas on how I can help you with these things in other ways. I'm always down to help make connections/referrals, share what I know about accessibility and influencing at the IC level, chat in informational interviews, run practice interviews, and review résumés, especially for folks who identify as underrepresented in tech.
