Complex products, made simple to use.
I’m Nik, a product designer with 15 years of experience designing trading platforms and complex tools where bad UX costs real money.
I help teams turn dense, high-stakes products into clear, reliable experiences. Previously at Tradu and FXCM.

What I do
I focus on complex, high-stakes products where clarity, speed, and accuracy matter.
- Product UX for complex systems
- Information architecture, flows, and interaction design that make dense systems clear and predictable.
- End-to-end UI
- Design systems, component libraries, and production-ready UI that scales across products and teams.
- 0 to 1 MVPs
- Turning early ideas into clear, testable prototypes that validate direction or support fundraising.
- Design audits
- Direct, practical audits that identify friction, missed opportunities, and what’s costing you users.
Not a fit for marketing sites, landing pages, or brand identity work.
