Nick Black
After 8 years of animation and working in media, in 2018 I retrained as a UX designer and researcher. I work in-house with a design team at Clarksons Platou.
I was drawn to UX because of the focus on collaboration, process and positive impact. Throw into the mix a healthy dose of analysis, psychology and creativity and you have yourself a winning combination! Now I solve problems and make things easier to use.
