About Me

Hi there! My name is Steve Nicholls and I’m a UX Designer.
I enjoy problem solving and creating beautiful experiences that work for both businesses and users.

I am a logical thinker with a strong customer perspective and a practical, effective approach to design and client requirements.

I am able to  work through every aspect of UX from research, data and numbers through to wireframing, prototyping and creating impactful designs.

I have experience in both working on my own and also in team environments, liaising with the client and other team members to ensure the project runs smoothly.

When I am not designing I enjoy spending time with my family, as well as playing and coaching football.
