# Nik — Product Designer

> 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.
