Hi, I’m Nicole; a Junior UX designer with a background in Social Psychology and a passion for creating thoughtful, intuitive digital experiences.
While I’m just starting my professional journey in UX, I’ve spent countless hours learning, experimenting, and honing my skills through hands-on projects and continuous exploration.
I’m especially drawn to the intersection of empathy and design, and I enjoy leveraging tools — including AI — to enhance my research and streamline workflows. I believe great design should be inclusive and accessible, and I’m excited to keep growing as a designer who puts users first.
Outside of design, I enjoy watching films/series, listening to music, exercising and playing on my Nintendo.
