Nia means purpose in Swahili 🌼

Staying true to my name, I seek purpose and craft in everything I do.

As a UX Designer and Researcher with over 6 years of experience, I am driven by the full end-to-end process—from sitting with real people to uncover their core needs, to architecting the scalable solutions that solve them.

With a dual background in Psychology and Digital Media Studies (HCI), I’ve learned that the most impactful products aren’t just "innovative"— they are the ones that truly listen. Having designed for thousands of users in the Fintech and Healthcare sectors, I’ve mastered the art of translating complex business requirements into intuitive, accessible experiences.

I am a firm advocate for the user’s vantage point, leading with care and a systems-thinking mindset to ensure every design decision is intentional.

Beyond the Screen

When I’m not in Figma, you can find me tending to my container garden (growing everything from zucchini to nasturtiums), painting watercolors, or diving into a book on permaculture. I live in the Raleigh area with my husband and two children.
