Hello, I’m Nicole Yerkes.
I’m a Product and UX Designer who works on complex, end-to-end experiences for people in regulated industries, primarily finance. I tend to be achievement-oriented and pragmatic in all areas of my life, and really enjoy the collaboration that design thinking demands.
Currently I work as a Product Designer at BNY, excited and aligned with the company’s goal to help financial professionals conduct their high-value, high-volume business in a sophisticated, integrative way.
On a personal level, I get to be involved in awesome groups local to me, like SDXD and Women in Tech San Diego, where we meet up for industry panels, go on hikes, and co-work to share ideas and victories.

Any chance I get, I’m hiking with friends
