Nichole Aquino
Urban Design Forum Forefront Fellow
Senior UX designer and researcher with 10+ years experience working with federal and state government, nonprofits, and communities engaged with public services. Past partners have included General Services Administration, U.S. Department of Justice, NYC Public Schools, Brooklyn Public Library, and NYC Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Currently, I’m helping to improve access to federal government services on the Technology Transformation Services team. Recently, I co-published a report outlining recommendations and tools to build public space for youth with Urban Design Forum. Previously, I've led classes on product design at Parsons School of Design and workshops at Robin Hood Foundation.
