I’m Nicole, a product design leader with 9+ years of experience building and scaling end-to-end design for AI-powered SaaS products. Currently, I'm the Head of Design at Clarvos, a 0-to-1 adtech platform that leverages data science and Agentic AI to uncover audience insights, generate growth strategies, and launch advertising campaigns.

I love being involved in the whole product lifecycle — from talking to users, to wireframing, to presenting prototypes. Involvement in each step of the process gives me a deep understanding of how a user is interacting with a product and teaches me something new about the user every day.

With years of remote work experience, I’ve learned what it means to be a thoughtful communicator and effectively lead a design team. There are both positive and negative impacts that remote work can have on a creative team. I have experience in creating effective remote processes, collaborating across teams, and managing in both in-person and remote settings.

​I am team-oriented. I understand the impact that good or bad leadership can have on a design team. I have always led with a people-centered approach and a strong set of values — integrity, authenticity, and most importantly, inclusion.

Outside of my job, it has always been important for me to be an active participant in the creative community. Over the years I have participated in various design programs in the DMV area including the AIGA DC SHINE program, DC Design Week, and Ladies, Wine, & Design DC. These experiences have always left me feeling inspired and energized seeing how designers can have such a profound impact on our communities. When I’m not designing you can find me exploring the incredible DC food scene or planning my next national park visit.
