A Little About Me

Hello again! 👋 I'm Nicole!

My work focuses on all forms of digital design, but most specifically product design, design systems, and web development.

I strive to create innovative solutions that are accessible, elegant, and intuitive.

Day-to-day, I work at Think Company as a senior product designer on a design systems team for Comcast Xfinity. I'm focusing on building a product-level design system and exploring how to improve design-to-dev handoff practices. In between these things, I am also mentoring other designers.

In past experiences, I was a lead designer at KDG, where I led branding, marketing, and website initiatives; I built hundreds of WordPress sites at a small web design agency; and I helped the US EPA on a design thinking project.

After hours, you can find me working on freelance projects. My recent freelance clients have included: agencies such as the Ampush; higher education institutions like Manor College; and small businesses such as BHR Catering.

I also like to stay busy with letterpress or printmaking as often as possible. My non-creative related hobbies include: reading, playing tennis, and taking frequent trips to my favorite bakeries.

I’m always looking for a new experience or challenge. If you have any cool projects or opportunities, I’d love to hear from you!
