Product Designer

I'm Nick a product designer and 2x founder based in LA. I have experience working with world-class funds such as A16z, 8VC and AI Fund, as well as with Series C startups like Clubhouse.

Projects

Spark Calls - Mobile IOS App

Spark Calls was developed in response to the challenge of maintaining relationships with friends dispersed across various states. The increasing loneliness epidemic and the relocation of college graduates to different cities have made it difficult to coordinate interactions. The project was led by my co-founder, the main developer, and myself as the product designer.See More

The Week - Social Calendar IOS App

The Weeks was developed as a social experiment aimed at strengthening relationships by reconnecting friends living in the same city but leading busy lives. I was the founding designer for this product which amounted to gain 800+ total users with 90 WAU at its peak. I worked directly with engineering to build out tech specs, PRD's, and utilized Apples UI Kit for MVP.See More

Monetization Model

At Clubhouse, I helped lead the development of the platform's first web3 monetization model for creators, which resulted in the company's first dollar in revenue. I also collaborated with the lead iOS engineer to establish the first design systems, and contributed to developing growth features for our most prominent house creators.See More

Octopus - HR Software

Octopus is a São Paulo-based startup who's goal is to create a modern human resource software solution. The founder saw an opportunity to introduce a more innovative solution, as many companies were still using HR software from the early 2000s. I worked directly with the founder to design and ship various features ranging from admin dashboard to employee onboarding. See More

Transportation Management Software

As the second designer for R&R's logistics software initiative, we aimed to revolutionize freight movement by developing a fully self-service management system. Our approach focused on automating logistics processes, enhancing user experience for commercial appeal, and leveraging advanced technology to bridge the industry's decade-long technology gap.See More
