Hi, I'm Nicol — blending design
and strategy for real impact.
Where Empathy
Meets Strategy
Rooted in European design and shaped by nature's systems, I approach product design with empathy and intention. My background spans exhibition, fashion, and XR, and each discipline taught me the same truth: great design is inclusive, functional, and emotionally resonant.
I began in physical spaces—crafting fashion collections and co-founding Studio Comrades, where we created immersive 2D/3D narratives. That evolved into designing digital experiences that bridge accessibility, usability, and strategy. Today, I specialize in product design for digital and spatial interfaces, blending storytelling with problem-solving to deliver clear, barrier-free solutions that work for everyone.
Outside of design, you'll find me exploring XR possibilities, recharging in nature, or on the move with my dog—always reminded that the best systems are those where every element belongs.
Where Strategy
Meets Execution
Product
Strategy
With 2+ years establishing visual language and digital presence for businesses, I approach product design strategically. I help define design direction that aligns with business goals, ensuring every design decision supports both user needs and company objectives.
UI
Design
Drawing from spatial design experience, I craft interfaces with dimensional thinking—focusing on user flow, hierarchy, and functional beauty rather than decoration. Every element serves the user's journey.
Design
Systems
I build design systems that ensure consistency across digital products. Through studying Material Design and Human Interface Guidelines, I understand how to create systematic approaches that help teams maintain design quality at scale.
Developer
Perspective
Combining traditional coding skills with AI-assisted development, I bring a developer's perspective to product design. This technical understanding helps me prototype faster, create feasible solutions, and bridge communication gaps with engineering teams.
