Hello, I'm Nico

I'm a seasoned designer working at the intersection of product and brand.

I care about shipping work that is high craft, standardized and scalable. I sweat the pixels that would normally become tech debt. I design from a data-driven lens.

Currently a Staff Product Designer at Coinbase working on the centralized Design System, theming products, shipping via agentic coding, and bringing human expression to features. Previously at Shopify and Starbucks.
