Hi, I’m Nathalie 👋🏼
Product Designer based in New York City
My passion for UX started in 2017 when I supported one of Bloomberg’s digital products (but I didn’t know it then).
By happenstance, I connected with a colleague from the UX department and as he shared about his work, I realized that the user experience was that “thing” I deeply cared about. So, I did some research on the discipline, networked, and read books before fully committing to my journey into UX.
Here’s how the rest of my UX journey timeline goes:
2018: I joined the UX department at Bloomberg where I worked in a team managing and creating UX standards and guidelines in order to improve the design system.
I completed a 10-week General Assembly course in UX Design.
2020: I joined Pratt Institute’s Master’s program in Information Experience Design, and graduated in the Spring of 2023.
I worked on a few design projects next to my core responsibilities.
2022: I became an Interaction Designer for Bloomberg’s Buyside products. I helped with a product migration that was used by about 20k users.
2023: I transitioned to the Employee Productivity team helping design CRM tools for Bloomberg’s internal sales team.
In both roles, I collaborated closely with product managers and engineers to integrate UX seamlessly into product development. I focused on bridging UX and business needs while advocating a user-centered approach. My strength lies in effective communication, which I believe is key to successful collaboration.
2024: I started freelancing to small organizations and businesses both in design and coaching.
Also began other creative pursuits, such as writing, teaching yoga, and other design projects.
