Product design and original illustration, from one desk.
Hi, I'm Nur White. I design apps and websites through the full Google UX process — research, wireframes, high-fidelity Figma — and I draw the illustration and portraiture that goes into them, in Procreate. Getting both usually means hiring two vendors. Houston-based, working anywhere.

Product design case studies
One Google UX Certificate course brief, and two self-directed concepts.
What I take on, and what it costs.
Fixed prices agreed before anything starts, so a project cannot quietly become more expensive than the thing it was meant to solve. Prices below are where each kind of work begins; the quote you get is for your actual scope.
How working together goes
Most of what makes a freelance project go wrong is not the design. It is not knowing what you are getting, when, or for how much. This is where each of those stops being a question.
How I Solve Problems: The 5-Stage UX Process
Following Google's user-centered design thinking framework to transform complex ambiguity into tested, verified, and delightful interfaces.
-
Stage 1: Empathize
Conducting user interviews, building empathy maps, and observing real user pain points to eliminate bias.
-
Stage 2: Define
Framing clear Problem Statements, defining user journey maps, and formulating “How Might We” opportunities.
-
Stage 3: Ideate
Rapid sketching, Crazy Eights, information architecture diagrams, and low-fidelity paper wireframing.
-
Stage 4: Prototype
Building interactive, clickable Figma prototypes from low-fidelity wireflows to high-fidelity design systems.
-
Stage 5: Test & Iterate
Executing usability studies, tracking conversion bottlenecks, and iterating designs toward user satisfaction.
Google UX Design Professional Certificate

Fine Arts & Drawing Mastery
Formal training in visual balance, color harmony, anatomy sketching, composition, and visual spatial hierarchy gives my digital UI and portrait artwork a distinct artistic polish.
Design Stack & Skills
Hi, I'm Nur White — A product designer and digital artist who cares deeply about empathy, emotion, and craftsmanship.
My passion for creative work is rooted in the intersection of artistic expression and human-centered problem solving. With foundational studio art and drawing studies at Lone Star College, combined with the comprehensive Google UX Design Professional Certification and digital painting in Procreate, I approach every digital interface and portrait with genuine care and visual nuance.
Whether designing high-impact web apps in Figma or painting expressive custom portraits, I believe great work should feel meaningful, accessible, and aesthetically memorable.
