Hi 👋🏻, I’m Nikki - a product designer and systems thinker
Product Designer
I bring a designer's heart and a strategist's mind to every project, transforming bold ideas into tangible realities with meticulous precision. My passion for crafting impactful experiences shines through every stage of the design process, from initial planning and user research to delivery and ongoing optimization.
DesignOps Manager
With a love for process and a passion for collaboration, I am committed to fostering a design ecosystem that is both successful and sustainable. I believe that by leveraging the power of DesignOps, we can transform design from a siloed discipline into an integral part of the overall product development process.
Systems Thinker
Intrigued by the intricate web of interconnected systems, I excel at collaborating with diverse teams to bridge gaps and tackle complex challenges. My expertise in design systems empowers me to shed light on underlying structures and patterns shaping a given product.
Joyful Optimist
I don't just see people as users; I see them as complex, emotional beings full of potential. Empathy is my guiding light, and I nurture it in everything I do – from my design work to my interactions with others. With a smile on my face and a heart full of hope, I strive to make the world a brighter, more joyful place one interaction at a time.
