For the past two years, Niki and I worked closely with one of our QSR clients. Niki was our acting lead Product Designer and led an entire design system overhaul of our clients' mobile application.
Niki is a vigorous, extremely detailed, and passionate individual, who takes honourable pride in her work and all that she does. Niki is across every detail and leaves no stone unturned to ensure that everything is laddering up to the bigger picture and/or desired outcome. Niki has a wealth of knowledge and understands the complexity of scaling design systems, but does so with a solution-focused mindset and consistent velocities.
Separate from outputs, Niki is fun and engaging to work with. Niki and I developed a solid working relationship during our tenure together, which only benefited the environment we worked in. As this allowed us to be open and transparent with one another on a day-to-day basis, it was a refreshing dynamic, to say the least.
I would warmly recommend Niki to any other organisation looking to offer her a contract. Please contact me directly if you require further details about Niki's time here at AND Digital.
Rhys Lynch / Service Delivery Manager & AND Digital
Myself and Niki have worked together for the last two years transforming the Subway Mobile Order product inside their EMEA Application.
Quite simply, Niki has been fundamental to the success of the product in multiple ways. She is a true end to end UX & UI designer with the ability to work seamlessly with Product and own initiatives from inception, through to discovery, customer validation and delivery. I rest easy knowing Niki is the lead from a design perspective on this product!
Myself and Niki have build a fantastic working relationship and I will be sorry to see her move onto her next challenge. I have no hesitation recommending her, she would be an asset in any thriving product team.
Matt Archer / Product Manager & AND Digital/Subway
Niki is a diligent person who gets things done thoroughly and quickly. She has a wealth of knowledge on how to scale designs and really helped us get our design system in place which has lead to an increase in consistency and faster development time. She understands user problems quickly and is able to come up with top level design ideas very quickly.
Tom Nicholls / Lead Product Designer & AND Digital/Robert Walters
Although we only worked together for a relatively short period of time, I was very impressed by Niki's attention to detail and methodical approach to our UX project. She was a pleasure to work with - creative; calm under pressure; adapting solutions to changing business requirements while questioning our rationale when necessary to ensure our site would deliver on user experience. Niki's handover notes and documentation were exemplary and an invaluable resource for the project team.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Niki and would happily work with her again should the opportunity arise.
Susan Fairfax / Senior Marketing Manager at CNN International Commercial
It was a real pleasure to work with Niki on the UX of a platform build at CNN. She gave me absolute confidence, saw a need and as such was able to fulfil an organisational need beyond what was expected. Her tenacity, attention to detail, and commitment made sure nothing slipped through. She was invaluable to have around for the team and was an inclusive team player - well liked by all. Thanks Niki! Look forward to working with you again!
James Edenborough / Head of Digital at CNN Create
Niki combines a high level of creativity with an in depth understanding of the complexities of web design, working with her was productive in terms of her expanded notions of the potentials held in web design and also in terms of her sensible, and grounded approach to practically organising projects. I cannot reccomend NIki highly enough in relation to her sensitive understanding of the needs and requirements of a very particular web project!
Lucy Pawlak / Storytelling Organisation
NIki is a highly talented designer with expertise both in a creative and technical capacity. Not only does her design work demonstrate exciting originality but also an acute awareness of the necessity of practical application and fast execution. Highly recommended!
Gavin Richardson / Creative Lead at easyGroup
I only managed Niki for a short time during our recent rebranding work but it was long enough for her to impress me with her talent, versatility and impressively up-to-date knowledge. She is also kind, sensitive and passionate about her work; lovely qualities to have in a freelancer.
