I help B2B teams design AI features people actually trust and use

I’m Nicole — a product designer who got pulled into the hardest corner of the field: designing AI people can genuinely rely on.

From cyber security to founding my own AI product

The story

Most of my recent work has been AI agent experiences at Immersive — a cybersecurity company — where a wrong answer isn’t a nuisance — it’s a breach. That’s a demanding place to learn AI UX, and it shaped how I design: for the moments AI gets things wrong, not just the moments it shines.

Building my own AI product taught me what most designers never learn.

I founded and designed Nouri, an AI nutrition app — and building it solo meant wearing every hat: designer, product manager, engineer, I learned AI the hard way, from scratch. That’s why I don’t design AI features in a vacuum. I understand the whole picture — the product tradeoffs, the technical constraints, what’s actually buildable — so what I hand over isn’t a pretty idea your engineers can’t ship. It’s design shaped by someone who’s had to make it work end to end.

Mission

To make AI people actually trust — designed for the moments it’s uncertain or wrong, not just the moments it works. Most teams bolt AI on and hope. I design the trust in.

What working with me looks like

Step 1

A real conversation first.

A short call where we figure out what's actually going wrong — no pitch, no jargon. You'll leave knowing whether I'm the right fit, even if the answer's no.

Step 2

I go away and diagnose.

I dig into your product and users myself. You get your time back — I come back with a clear read on the problem, not a list of questions.

Step 3

We shape it together.

I share thinking early and often. You're never waiting weeks for a big reveal — you see it evolve and steer it as we go.

Step 4

You get something you can build.

Not a slide deck of ideas — build-ready design your team can ship, plus me on hand while they do.
