Hi, I’m Nick

I’m a Lead Product Designer & UX Strategist specializing in complex platforms, high-scale data systems, and field operations.

Simplifying complexity through strategic, human-centered design

I partner with product, engineering, and business teams to untangle complex, multi-stakeholder workflows.

Whether modernizing B2B claims for a major beverage supplier, visualizing natural hazard risk models, or streamlining agricultural data collection, I bridge operational gaps and eliminate friction by delivering highly intuitive digital products.

Portfolio Highlights

  • Centralizing End-to-End B2B Claims Processes

    Led UX strategy and service design for a leading beverage supplier, replacing legacy workflows with a B2B claims platform that cut processing time by 29% and safeguarded $706K+ in tax credit requests across 3,000+ claims.

  • Elevating Nationwide Natural Hazard Risk Awareness

    Served as UX lead and project manager for a nationwide natural hazard risk index, establishing accessible web tools and risk communication frameworks highlighted by the White House and codified into federal law to guide resilience funding.

  • Streamlining Agriculture Data Collection

    Co-owned product design and continuous discovery for a native iOS app and web platform, establishing a validated MVP that eliminated handwritten steps and multi-device dependencies for field technicians.

Designing across spaces

I tackle challenges in any arena, but these are the domains where my experience runs deepest.

Enterprise Workflows & B2B Platforms

I design critical systems that keep business running smoothly.

From digitizing manual, multi-department supply chain processes to upgrading legacy project management applications, I focus on eliminating operational bottlenecks, minimizing manual data re-entry, and preserving regulatory compliance.

Data-Dense & Mapping Applications

I turn massive, disparate, and multi-layered datasets into intuitive, actionable digital experiences to drive high-stakes decisions.

My work includes designing a nationwide web mapping application used to communicate natural hazard risks, shape federal policy, and inform local decision making and the distribution of disaster resilience resources.

In-Field & Operational UX

Not all software is used in a quiet office. I design native mobile, tablet, and web interfaces for physically demanding, unpredictable, and real-time environments.

My work ranges from designing offline-capable agricultural applications for in-field soil collection to building real-time dashboards that integrate environmental sensors and predictive models to forecast water hazards.

My Collaborative Playbook

🧭 Discovery-Led Strategy

I avoid designing based on assumptions. I utilize contextual inquiry, user interviews, workshops, usability testing, and analytics to navigate ambiguity, uncover real operational friction points, and translate complex requirements into simplified, strategic product decisions.

🤝 The Connective Layer

I act as the strategic bridge between engineering, product ownership, business stakeholders, and end-users to align everyone around a shared, buildable product vision.

✅ A Focus on Real Adoption

I prioritize functional information architecture, clean visual hierarchy, and user validation to ensure software actually gets adopted and delivers measurable business value.
