About Nico Scheinkman

Design Technologist at Sysaid

Hola 👋 I'm Nico, a Design Technologist and Senior Product Designer now building AI-native product experiences at SysAid.

I've spent the last few years working across the full design lifecycle: designing systems that scale, owning design-dev handoff end-to-end, and shipping experiences that move real metrics with well know companies as Zoominfo and Elementor. These days I'm focused on agentic AI workflows designing for systems that think, act, and hand off to humans in ways that actually make sense.

I started my career the non-traditional way UX bootcamp, Google UX Certificate, then a UX certificate at the Technion. So I know exactly what it feels like to be breaking in without a straight path.

I'm here for designers who are:

Just starting out and trying to figure out how to land their first role Curious about AI tools and how to integrate them into real design work not just surface-level prompting Struggling with design-dev collaboration and want to bridge that gap for real Thinking about where design is headed with AI and want an honest take

I'll be honest about what worked, what didn't, and what I'd do differently. No polished playbooks just real talk from someone who's been navigating this field with curiosity and a lot of iteration.

Let's figure out your next move together.
