Nicolas Totma
I’m a designer focused on building fluid, responsive,
accessible user experiences and interfaces.
I’ve been fascinated by design, art, animation since a
young age. I learned the basics of animation, sketching and
drawing in an art school on the small island I grew up on - La Réunion. After many years of working as a computational linguist,
I took the leap to professionally pursue my passion with the
dream of becoming a UX, UI designer.
I learned the crucial foundations for UI design through self-teaching and mentorship and took on nonprofit positions in an nonprofit as a UX, UI designer to further advance my skills. My professional background as a computational linguist and my studies (including behavioral economics and market research) greatly aided me in the transition to UX, UI design.
Through understanding and applying different design frameworks, I’m now able to confidently work with and adapt to a variety of project specifications and constraints.
When I’m not on a computer designing, I enjoy hikes in nature, photography, plant based cuisine, and all topics related to sustainability and a healthy lifestyle. You’ll also find me reading my weekly manga chapters and trying to catch up with my Steam games library.
