I'm Nicole Conary, a designer based in Bend, OR

I genuinely enjoy building and creating, whether that's a digital experience, a LEGO project, or a nifty little micro-interaction that sparks joy. Let's go make it!

About me

I am...

the mother of an amazing daughter
the wife to my best friend and biggest fan
a student at heart
looking for the next camping adventure
enjoying Peloton classes
slowly accruing a LEGO collection
avoiding my true hair color
a fan of a great glass of wine
figuring out if I like skiing
a designer
forever an optimist
enjoying life

What I've been up to recently

Product Design

H1 2024
I've been doing a "road tour" with my partner-in-crime Product Manager to share the vision for standardizing data in our platform for scalability and usability purposes. We've been sharing our findings and how we intend to build a foundation that allows all teams to build reporting insights within the Invoca platform.

I've also been working on a new Report Builder initiative with our Product Manager for how we can modernize our reporting system to allow all teams to independently build reporting templates and create insightful data visualizations.

H2 2024
With a new team focused on data standardization, I'm leading the UX discovery efforts on consolidating our different data views and enhancements to our existing data types.

Invoca Design System

H1 2024
As we continue evolving our design system, I am working with our front-end team on the expansion of component tokens and visual design parity as legacy code is modernized.

As we hire more engineers, product managers, and designers, I am holding weekly office hours and working on self-serve onboarding resources such as design cheatsheets, video how-to's, and updating documentation.

H2 2024
I'm collaborating with our Design System team and learning how DevMode's CodeConnect improves design handoffs. I'm also sharing benefits of DevMode and advocating for licenses for our entire Engineering team.

I am also leading efforts to select and provide a new design visualization library for the IDS. My first steps are around the selection process for a library and ensuring due diligence.

Every small detail matters

I believe that the small details make all the difference.
