Nicola Ritter giving a talk

Hey, call me Nico

A digital-first webdesigner specializing in strategic visual communication and story driven brand identities.

A project with me means clear structure across design and delivery and genuine enthusiasm for digital products that do more than look good: they work technically and commercially over the long term. From concept and design through technical delivery, I work with you strategically, thoughtfully, and as an equal partner.

Fungi Feeds GmbH

Nicola thinks ahead. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about our collaboration. She took Fungi Feeds from a blank page to a complete brand and understood what we stand for, what drives us, and where we want to go. The photo shoot, corporate identity, and entire visual presence all came together as one coherent system. She did not simply execute what I asked for; she challenged our business goals, values, and vision so they could shape the identity. Straightforward, personal, precise, and full of joy.

Declarium GmbH

Nico is easily one of the most talented Product Designers I’ve worked with. She transformed Declarium from a complex concept into a beautiful, user-friendly reality across both our web presence and our core app. Her ability to simplify the complex is unmatched, and her technical grasp makes the hand-off process seamless. She has an incredible eye for detail and a natural instinct for modern design language. Nicola doesn’t just deliver mockups; she delivers business growth through design.
