More than just pixels

I don’t just make pretty pixels. I design digital handshakes that convert strangers into superfans.

No tech headaches.

I handle the design complexities so you can focus on what you do best: running your business.

Seamless UX, clear results.

You bring the business goals, I turn them into effortless user experiences.

Open DMs. Always.

Got questions? I’ve got answers.

Personal feedback

“I needed help creating a professional portfolio and Nico was the perfect pick. After only one meeting he delivered a set of preliminary designs and color palettes for me to choose from. I can be a bit indecisive at times and really appreciated Nico’s utmost calm when I went back and forth on things. The project got done in time & I’m more than happy with my website!”

— Corinna Coghlan

“Nico asked the right questions and turned our mountain of ideas into something clear and enjoyable to use. Very pro-active and professional.”

— Matthias Scheibinger

"This was our first experience with Red Goia Studio. Nicolas redesigned our donation page and turned our messy layout into a tidy one that looks really professional. All updates landed in my inbox before I even had to ask. His patience with our last-minute font changes were the cherry on top. We’ll happily book him for the next campaign."

Let's talk

My Process

Listen first

Before anything else, I take time to understand your goals, users, and the landscape. Whether it’s through interviews or competitor analysis, this sets the tone for sharp, purposeful design.

Map the way

I break down complexity and clarify the path forward. This might involve user flows, rough wireframes, and always a shared understanding of the priorities to make sure your vision comes to life.

I turn concepts into interactive mockups and prototypes

This is where the visuals take shape: clean UI, clear hierarchy, and thoughtful details. I’ll bring ideas to life with mockups and interactive prototypes.

Test and tweak

Together we refine the design through feedback loops. If helpful, we test with real users or stakeholders to make sure things feel right.

Wrap and support

You’ll get all final files and documentation, ready for dev handoff. I can also stay on board to support implementation or collaborate directly with your dev team.
