About Me

Hello, my name is Nikita Washington, and I’m a UX Designer with five years of experience crafting intuitive, impactful digital experiences. My career has spanned industries such as financial services, technology, media, and education, allowing me to bring a diverse, adaptable approach to problem-solving. Whether leading large-scale projects or collaborating cross-functionally, I bridge the gap between user needs and business goals to create seamless, human-centered solutions.

I not only design meaningful products but also actively contribute to the design community. From speaking on panels and giving conference talks to being featured on podcasts, I share insights on pivoting from education to design and navigating an often gate-kept industry. I am passionate about mentoring early-career and underrepresented designers, helping them break into the field and thrive.

At my core, I believe in the transformative power of design—both in the experiences we create and the impact we leave on people. Product design is my tool for making the world more connected, equitable, and joyful. My process is deeply human-centered, spanning product strategy, user research, UX, and UI. I specialize in distilling complexity into intuitive, elegant solutions that empower users and drive business success.
