Nicholas Devine is a Experience Designer Microsoft at Microsoft. Colleagues describe him as "Nick was able to quickly turn out designs and meaningful iterations based on user research and business needs. He was able to follow project lead direction while providing creative and practical ideas of his own. Though this may be what one would consider standard for a UX designer, however, this was in a problem space that he wasn't initially familiar with and involves many pieces that weren't already tied together. Because of this, what impressed me most was his ability to learn on the fly by engaging with content experts, analyzing pre-existing research, and creating prototypes to continue research.", "I've been working with Nick Devine on a semi-regular basis for over a year and a half. During that time, the results of the projects Nick has contributed to have exceeded my expectations and those of the rest of the Eligea Team. Nick is a very skilled designer who understands how to work with a client in a way that is both effective and reassuring that he understands the problem statement and its various solutions. There are many UX Designers in the Seattle area, but few have the breadth of vision that Nick is able to tap in to and bring to life for his clients. I've known him to work around the clock, perfecting sketches and drafts for clients and not being satisfied until they are just right. In addition to Nick's skills as a designer, he is also a team player and has worked very well with the Eligea Team. He is able to take comments from each person in the group and integrate them into his designs. Nick is a unique designer who is likely to be working on the most cutting edge projects. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Nick on their team is surely fortunate and will be satisfied with the results.", and "Nick is a deep thinker that integrates seemingly disparate thoughts and systems into a cohesive whole. With his curiosity to guide him he uses research to attack problems and conveys his findings in fun and engrossing ways. He truly a pleasure to work with and I am always a better person when I finish a project with him."
