About me
My name is Nicola, I'm a freelance UI / Digital Designer based in London. I've been fortunate enough to work for some amazing companies and mentors since graduating in Graphic Design in 2010. I've worked on a range of digital projects for some well known clients including - BP, TFL, IBM, Jaguar Land Rover and Westminster Abbey. I work mainly on responsive sites and native apps though I'm trained in UX and am comfortable doing wireframing. I'm capable of working on projects that range from visually complex to triple A accessible. I'm comfortable joining a team or working solo and can work on small or large projects.
Projects
  • Watch Games
    Watch GamesThis game was created by our intern developers. The idea was to create a game for the Apple Watch that appealed to people who play arcade games or were fond of computer games in the 80’s. I was asked to help guide the design side of the app by creating icons and coming up with the style guide for the developers to follow. I created the icons by sticking to squares. I wanted no perfect curves as this did not feel in fitting with the theme. For the colours I looked into those used in arcade games
  • IBM Smarter Cities
    IBM Smarter CitiesIBM Smarter Cities is a project that helps to identify critical challenges facing cities. This is done by putting IBM’s top experts from different business units and geographies into the city to work closely with city leaders. They then recommend how to make the city smarter and more effective.

Education
    BA(Hons) Graphic Design
     - 
    I attended University of Essex after finishing my college course studying Graphic Design. I learnt many skills for working in print such as layouts, print design, CD design, Exhibition layouts, photography and letterpress. In my second year I also started to intern for design agencies for free. I knew I needed to stand out from other candidates when I had graduated. I did 2 years free work working in print and fashion before I landed my first job in a digital agency.
