About

Nicole Jones

Hi, I’m Nicole Jones.

I’m a freelance writer and editor in Brooklyn. I help people make friendly products and websites.

Before this, I worked at Facebook, Apple, Lab Zero, and Mule. You can find my writing in Contents, Web Standards Sherpa, Offscreen, and a few other places.

In the evenings, I read a lot and make Born Hungry, an online magazine for home cooks. I keep a journal, take photos, and spend too much time on Twitter.

I believe:

  • Writing is a form of design.
  • Communication takes courage.
  • Content is fluid.

I want to:

  • Bring rhythm and kindness to the web.
  • Create responsible, accessible products.
  • Teach people who make things to write from the heart.
  • Make it easier to read online.
  • Connect ideas I find along the way.

“When an editor excels at her job, the writer becomes forever indebted to her and in her awe. Nicole has left me both indebted and awestruck.”

“She can help you develop a unique and effective voice to distinguish yourself from everybody else, one that people are eager to listen to and act upon.”

Paula Chang, Mule Design

“As a visual designer, she has convinced me that language and content are an integral part of brand and interaction. She has continually given me useful feedback to help me in the visual design process, as well as on early stage concepts.”

“Nicole was extremely helpful in refining our internal process of identifying localization needs, requesting them, and improving our workflow with the publishers.”
