Experiential Alchemist and Design Enthusiast

Hello! I'm Nick Toloczko, a UX designer with a passion for taking ideas and concepts and turning them into adventures. Over the past five years at Humana, I've woven creativity into our projects to elevate our members' journey through Go365. When I'm not at work, my outlet for crafting experiences manifests in the role of Game Master for my friends in our Dungeons and Dragons games. I believe this desire to create an immersive storytelling escape is integral to my perspective on how users encounter obstacles, overcome them, and learn a thing or two in the process.

It's me! I'm a white male mid 20s with brown hair and blue eyes and a beard.

Hey that's Me!

My name is Nick Toloczko. I’m a graphic designer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Louisville. In the past, I have worked on many design and illustration projects through commission on my social media accounts. I have done websites, comics, book covers, book interiors, cartography, branding, and much more both in and out of school.

I spend my free time drawing, making 3D models, and hanging out with my girlfriend and our cats.
