Hello,

I’m Nicole!

I'm a UX and Graphic Designer currently working as a Research Assistant at the UW Seattle - Center for Engineering Education & Learning. As a techie with a knack for humanities, my projects are representative of the interdisciplinary background I've developed during my academic career.

I recently graduated from UW Seattle (June 2020), earning a B.S. in Human Centered Design & Engineering with a focus in Human-Computer Interaction. I am passionate about solving problems with ethical, accessible, and sustainable design solutions. My work is dedicated to building healthy relationships between humans and technology.

Working out strengthens my body and mind. I enjoy weightlifting because it helps me develop the consistency and work ethic I strive to demonstrate in other areas of my life.

I particularly enjoy neo-soul, R&B, and hip-hop music. I often approach music production with User-Centered Design mentality to shape the listener’s experience with melodies.
