My Prescriptions
Giving Hy-Vee pharmacy customers a clear answer to one simple question: is my prescription ready yet?
I'm Nick. I'm passionate about solving problems in design and talking to people to see if I actually fixed them.

Users had no idea when their prescriptions were ready and didn't trust the prepay process.

Giving Hy-Vee pharmacy customers a clear answer to one simple question: is my prescription ready yet?

Still a living document, Kernels was born out of a need for a unified UI made by experts.
Evidence in, clarity out. Every decision is backed by research and measured after launch, never left to opinion.
Interviews, surveys, and usability studies to learn what people actually need.
Personas, journey maps, and data triangulation that turn signal into direction.
High-craft systems and prototypes in Figma, built on Atomic Design principles.
Post-launch metrics that prove impact and feed the next iteration.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Nick on Hy-Vee’s My Pharmacy product experience. He has a strong product mindset and an ability to quickly turn complex requirements into intuitive user experiences. I appreciated his collaborative approach, openness to feedback, and the trust we built while working through challenging projects and tight deadlines. Whether it was aligning on critical workflows or delivering urgent features like the HSA/FSA experience, Nick was always dependable and focused on doing what was best for the product. I’d gladly work with him again and highly recommend him to any team looking for a thoughtful and collaborative product designer.

Nick and I became acquainted while working together at Coviance. I was immediately impressed by Nick's ability to jump into the technology, understand the nuances and processes of home equity lending. He closely collaborates with engineers and quality assurance to deliver an experience aligned with business outcomes. Nick is an advocate and champion of user experience. He challenges the constraints in order to ensure the best possible outcome. Nick also has exceptional skills in user research and information architecture that equally contribute to the quality of his work. He's commitment from initiation to release and beyond is what makes him a stellar UX Designer.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Nick on Hy-Vee’s UX team for over a year, and he’s an incredible counterpart. Nick excels in research and strategy, consistently uncovering insights that shape our designs and drive results. His ability to align user needs with business goals is unmatched, and his collaborative, thoughtful approach makes him a key asset to any team. I’m constantly impressed by his dedication to creating meaningful user experiences, and I know he’ll continue to achieve great things in his career.

Open to senior UX and product design roles. Have a project or just want to talk shop? I'd love to hear from you.
