OVERVIEW

Nmbr helps businesses create seamless payroll experiences within their products

Nmbr is a VC-backed startup that enables businesses to embed payroll directly into their products, creating seamless payroll experiences for their customers.

Throughout my internship, I worked closely with product, client experience, and engineering teams to design new features, create reusable patterns, and write copy that made the product more intuitive and scalable.

Lessons I learned along the way

“The devil is in the details”

Small interaction states, thoughtful copywriting, and standardization go a long way. Using Claude helped me quickly build POCs, validate designs against the existing codebase, test interactions, and collaborate more effectively with engineering.

Communicating with different stakeholders requires different approaches

I learned to better communicate my designs across different teams when asking for feedback and presenting my work. Since each team has a different perspective on the product and business goals, asking specific questions helped guide conversations and get more targeted feedback.

Super grateful for an amazing summer with the team!

I got to work with people across different teams to present my designs, get feedback, learn from everyone, and dive into the world of payroll through various projects.
