I'm Nicolas, you can call me Nico, or whatever you like. I'm from Cali, Colombia, and right now I'm on my final semester of Interactive Media Design at Icesi University.
I think my story with interaction design comes from my interest with video games. When I was at school I loved to play them whenever I found time, and later on, I got in love with the beautiful feeling that gave me story driven games. This made me a self made critique. Right now I enjoy indie games to the point of full blast emotional crying. I truly believe that vulnerability and emotional experiences are the best that we, as individuals, can offer and experience in this world.
The above translated somehow into my creative thinking, and my growing passion with photography, thriller movies and series, and more reacently with anime.
Going on... I find my problem solving approaches to be logical/rational, and mathematical driven, but I believe that real innovation blooms when emotions are involved in the process.
Throughout my academic and professional experience, I've worked on projects involving UX / UI design, animation, user-centered research, development, and product strategy. I'm usually contributing with Visual Design, Primary and Secondary Research, Ul & UX Design, and more. I like to make simple, empathetic experiences that add real value to people's lives.
