I'm Nicole.
I create inclusive design experiences from Los Angeles. I build accessibility teams, architect UX frameworks, and craft human-centered stories.
I’m a book and tea lover. You can often find me sequestered in an aesthetically moody room reading or listening to memoirs, rom coms, or fictionalized family historicals.
What I do
Champion inclusive design
I presented at the 2024 Growing in Content Conference about how to facilitate bias-free communication with Inclusive Content Design Guides that consider diverse needs to create a more universal user experience.
Build and lead accessibility teams
I co-founded the Instacart Accessibility Program to prioritize accessibility through inclusive design and development. We pushed the boundaries of the product experience to exceed accessibility expectations.
Implement WCAG guidelines
I created WCAG education and checklists to help make Wealthfront products better, for everyone. We use the WCAG guidelines to inform our accessibility practices and product audits. The checklist and issue log help us track inconsistencies and make changes.

Working with me
"Nicole’s got an eye out for industry standards whether it’s regarding accessibility or voice and tone and brings those topics to lights in team discussions. She also always makes sure to acknowledge and appreciate members of the team, including our xfn partners, which helps to strengthen our relationships."
