Hey there! I’m Niqui – an award winning designer, who, after over 20+ years’ on the tools, threw in my job as an Art Director and embarked on a 6-month intensive Transform UX UI course with Academy Xi.

In my past life, I’ve held senior positions in both advertising agencies and corporate in-house art departments. I have experience working in both domestic and international markets, across a variety of sectors that include:

• Health

• Human Rights

• Education

• Travel and Tourism

• Property

• Mining

• Banking and Finance

I’ve worked on everything from large scale brand projects and rebrands to national campaigns to spatial and environmental design and the list goes on. I even co-designed and co-illustrated a set of 10 limited edition postage stamps with Jenna Lee – which went on to win a BADC Bronze medal last year (2021)!

Whilst I have a wealth of experience in traditional advertising my passion lies in UX where I can combine my UI skills with my natural flare for problem solving and building empathy with people.

Fantastic skills I’ve recently added to my professional toolbox include:

• User Interviews

• Competitor Analysis

• Journey Mapping

• Personas

• Information Architecture

• User Flows

• Sketching

• Storyboarding

• User Testing

I’m looking for my new professional home and open to connect. I’m more than happy to chat about any of the above so please connect and send me a message : D
