Who is Nick?

I am a University of Illinois graduate with a degree in Applied Psychology. I graduated in 2021 and wanted to be a therapist during my college years. I realized that it wasn’t a great fit for me by the time I was graduating and took some time to think more about my future.

I would end up working as a wine consultant for a liquor retailer for almost two years where I developed a greater passion for a childhood dream. I wanted to be a designer. Through more thought and research I settled into UI/UX design. I took a course taught by Andrei Neagoie and Daniel Schifano and received their certification on completion.

Why did I choose design? It was a happy crossroads of what I wanted to do as a kid and the research based psychology internships I had done in college. Now I want to get into the field and show my strengths. If you happen to like what you see here and want to reach out to me at all, my email is in the footer. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
