Hey there!

I'M NICHOLAS (NIC)

I’m a Product (UX/UI) Designer & Instructional Designer based in San Francisco, using my analytical, educational, and creative skill sets to build frictionless, high quality digital products.

MY DESIGN JOURNEY.

it started with dance and fashion...

I received a B.A. in Dance from UCLA, but once the pandemic started, I had some time to develop my interests in fashion. I built my own brand from scratch, designing graphics for clothes and even building my own website using Shopify. Although I didn't know it at the time, I was already practicing UX principles.

then education...

I had planned for a career in arts education, but during my first year of teaching I discovered UX through a friend. I fell in love with being able to use my creative and educational skillsets to develop real products that could improve people's lives.

...and now I'm here

Now, I’m a UX Designer, working on projects at Amplify Education while continuing to learn UX/UI design. I'm also in grad school and will receive my M.A. in Instructional Design and Technology in May.

I've been dancing for 15+ years, specifically in styles like hip-hop. I was able to perform with Enhypen in 2024!

I DJ'ed my brothers birthday party back in 2023 and it stuck with me ever since! I've recently DJ'ed house parties and smaller events in the Bay Area.
