Meet Nicolai

I'm Nico (Nicolai Lehmkuhl), a person who is here to make the most out of life, to create, learn, grow, and share. Whether I’ve just met you or have known you for years, I enjoy learning about what people are passionate about. This has translated into my role as a designer where I am always questioning, observing, and learning about what users want but might not be able to communicate. I enjoy talking through problems and collaborating to find ways to simplify the experience so that everyone can effortlessly incorporate digital products into their everyday lives. 

I have always been surrounded by cultured, critical-thinking, analytical, and creative individuals. Being the son of an artist mother and an executive father, I have always lived between two worlds, which has taught me that there are many realities as there are people, and that nothing is guaranteed, so we must always try.

Based in London, UK, but have been a wanderer most of my life. Having lived in many places and learned about many cultures, I believe I am well positioned to communicate ideas globally.
