Summary
FAQs
For whom is this service? / What’s your typical client?
I work with early- and growth-stage startup founders who already have a product (or MVP) and want to improve their user experience, increase engagement, or clarify their product direction. It’s also ideal for teams preparing for redesigns, feature launches, or investor demos who want UX guidance before committing resources.
How do you manage communication?
I adapt to your preferred tools, Slack, email, Notion, or any project management platform you already use. I provide regular updates, share progress in real time, and keep the process transparent so you always know where things stand.
Do you review our current product design files?
Yes. I’ll review your Figma files, prototypes, or live product to identify usability issues, inconsistencies, and missed opportunities. You’ll get specific, annotated feedback and concrete next steps for your design or dev team.
Can you collaborate with our design or product team?
Yes. I can review your team’s work, guide specific UX challenges, and help establish principles that improve future iterations. My goal is to empower your team, not replace it.
Can you work in our time zone?
I usually work in Eastern Time (EST) and can easily adjust to Pacific Time (PST) or other US time zones. I’ve worked with fully remote teams across multiple time zones without any issue.

We’ll discuss: - How to simplify your onboarding and navigation. - How to improve retention, engagement, and activation flows. - How to align UX decisions with user psychology and business metrics.
Follow-up & Implementation Support (Optional)
Post-advisory support to review updates or new iterations your team implements, ensuring the improvements are applied correctly and consistently.

Nico rocked it for referrals that we sent him! We constantly get leads for website design and I never had a place to send them. Now, with ease, I am able to introduce anyone to Nico with confidence that he will do a terrific job. The best part is that Nico is more than a web designer ... he's a partner! He is NOT just an order taker. He uses his expertise to guide people into better design choices.

I highly recommend Nico for web, brand, or product design. Nico played a key role in the branding of Portalys, quickly understanding our vision and presenting spot-on options. Once we chose a direction, he refined it to perfection. On the product side, Nico’s quick iterations based on feedback and his ability to create intuitive wireframes have greatly improved our development process. Any team would be lucky to work with him!

I've been working with Nico for over two years now. We connected over a design service, to build my brands identity. Within 2 weeks we had the highest quality brand template my eyes had ever seen. And not even three weeks after I reached out to Nico letting him know I want to work with him for as long as possible. He possesses exceptional initiative, leadership and creative skills that always show in his work. He's cheaper, provides significantly higher quality and with Nico it's guaranteed.

Nico gets it. He's fast, professional, and always over-delivers. As a designer myself, I can tell he holds himself to a high design standard. I recommend him every time.
