I have worked with Nicola on two different occasions, and given the opportunity I would work with her again. As a designer she is flawless and smart. She always understood what the client wanted and I trusted her to deliver. Never did I have an instance where the client was dissatisfied. And to the point, Nicola had my complete trust. When she said she would do something she did it, and I knew she would do it well. She went above and beyond her job requirements: working on processes with project managers, trying out new software and making recommendations (even for departments she was not in), help with hiring, and even setting up a Christmas card exchange. Nicola wasn't just a valuable person within our work culture, she helped to craft the culture itself. Nicola is, and always will be, one of the best hires I have ever made in my work history. I cannot recommend her enough.
I can't quite put into words what a delight it was to have Nicola work with us at Turn.io for 6 months. Even as a freelancer, she acted like a permanent team member - taking real ownership over what she was delivering, thinking through holistic design for the business and went beyond what was expected of her in a Product Design role. She works well in a fully remote team with a lot of autonomy because she's great at communicating. I never had to ask where we were with the designs, what she needed support on or when she would deliver because she would have already told me. She elevated the design of our product at Turn.io and we are so glad she was part of our startup journey!
Nicola worked for Longboard Creative on our design team, and throughout that time she was an extremely creative and capable designer. Nicola had a fantastic eye for unique designs, and was able to implement some great strategies. Nicola focused mostly on UX/UI design. She played a significant role in connecting the site with the user experience. She has an innate, and unique ability to connect the details to the bigger picture. Her designs allowed Longboard to be both innovative and user-friendly, as such our clients were always happy. Another large part of Nicola’s job with us was coordinating thoughts and ideas from our South African office. She was always thoughtful and considerate. Nicola is a natural leader, as well as an excellent team player. Nicola can work independently, which makes her a special find for any organisation she works for. At Longboard, we believe that Nicola can do anything, and as such she is very highly recommended.
