The Full Story

Hi, I’m Nichole Tian — a detail-driven, fast-learning UX designer with a background in engineering and over 7 years of experience designing B2B SaaS products.​

​

I’m passionate about simplifying complexity and crafting thoughtful, scalable solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical realities. My engineering foundation allows me to speak the language of developers, while my curiosity and research-driven mindset help me uncover insights and turn them into purposeful design decisions.

​

I thrive in cross-functional teams and enjoy the creative tension of working closely with PMs, engineers, and researchers to shape product direction. Whether it’s facilitating workshops, extending a design system, or mentoring teammates, I bring a collaborative, systems-thinking approach to every challenge.

Having worked across startups, agencies, and enterprises, I adapt quickly, build strong relationships with stakeholders, and consistently push for clarity in both user experience and team process. At the core, I care deeply about solving the right problems and delivering value — not just through what I design, but how I work with others.
