About
Hi! 👋 I’m Nick, a senior UX & service designer from the Netherlands. With my visual design background, I design apps, websites, and services that look and work great. What makes me tick? Two things! 👇 First of all, creating a customer journey that just works. I am a communicator, a pixel-perfect designer, and a facilitator of engaging design thinking workshops. In recent years, I’ve completed design projects for the Dutch government, multinational banks, and SaaS businesses. And second, mentoring and coaching other designers to get a better career in UX. I’ve been lucky enough to help multiple designers get their first job in UX and help them get better at what they do. If you want to chat about design, mentoring, or working together, please contact me. ✉️ nick@nickgroeneveld.com

What are you looking for in a co-founder?
I had this discussion with a colleague. If you were to look for someone to co-found your idea...what is your main reason for needing a co-founder? And if you decide to look for one, what do you value most in a co-founder?
Is there anything about UX unclear to you?
After working in UX for years, I noticed we use a lot of words that people find confusing. To help solve this issue, I'm working on a dictionary for aspiring designers (1) and people who have to work with UX designers (2). My question to you is...is there anything about UX that's unclear to you? Or that could use some extra explaining?
