Hi, I’m Nikoleta – a passionate and versatile UX designer based in Amsterdam.
With a background in architecture and branding, I bring a unique perspective to every design challenge. My experience spans solo projects and large-scale collaborations, having contributed to design initiatives across more than 10 countries, including South Korea, Canada, Vietnam, Malta, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Greece.
My foundation in architecture has equipped me with essential skills like empathy, stakeholder management, and problem-solving, all of which I apply in my UX design practice. I specialize in computational design, with a strong technical foundation that includes scripting and the ability to tackle complex design challenges. With over 10 years of experience using 3D modeling and design tools, I’m comfortable working in a variety of digital environments.
As a brand designer, I gained deep insights into business strategy, market analysis, and the importance of aligning design with organizational goals. This background allows me to approach UX projects with a strategic mindset, ensuring the designs I create not only solve user problems but also drive business success.
In 2024, I completed Google’s UX Design Professional Certificate, where I gained hands-on experience in UX research, user interviews, surveys, persona creation, and prototyping. I also honed my skills in tools like Figma, design systems, usability testing, responsive design, and accessibility.
The field of UX design is always evolving, which is why I’m committed to continuous learning. I regularly attend courses and masterclasses to stay ahead of the curve and expand my expertise.
Whether you’re working on a product redesign or a new digital experience, I’d love to help you craft intuitive, user-centered designs that drive meaningful results.
