Hey there, I'm Jason Nickens, a creative problem solver and Principal/Lead Experience Designer, finding inspiration in the diverse stories of Washington, DC. My design journey has been a canvas painted with the unique experiences of this vibrant city.
In my time working with companies like Rocket Mortgage, Fannie Mae, Capital One, and Don Schaff, I've gained a treasure trove of design insights. At Rocket Mortgage, I led efforts on their flagship mortgage mobile app with a consistent 4.9 rating on both Apple and Google Play stores. I spearheaded the creation of a design system tailored for mobile, using Google Material and Apple's Human Interface Guidelines to refine the app's look and feel for consistency throughout our products--while also mentoring other designers. Fannie Mae provided a platform to craft engaging mobile experiences and be part of vital design decisions with my time on the innovation and Salesforce teams--in which I helped create the company's flagship mobile app. During my tenure at Capital One, I led the revamp of their online banking website, Art Directed and produced various marketing design campaigns, and craft a tax campaign resulting in millions of deposit dollars. Additionally, my time at Don Schaff expanded my skills across diverse projects in the agency space, working with some high-profile companies and increasing speed to delivery.
But it's not just about the corporate world. Collaborations at JN Design Studio with brands like VH1, McDonald's, Led Zeppelin, and Nike added diverse perspectives and creativity to my design approach.
These experiences across the corporate landscape and entrepreneurial ventures at JN Design Studio have shaped my ability to create engaging designs. I'm all about crafting designs that truly resonate with users, infusing each project with creativity and a deep sense of connection.
If you're in search of a designer with a rich blend of experiences from both corporate giants and independent ventures, I'm enthusiastic about bringing my unique skills to create designs that captivate and truly speak to audiences.
