About Nicole
Nicole Patten
Founder, Elevate Online · Ex-Google Senior UX Engineer
Nicole spent 7 years at Google building products used by millions. She led UX engineering on large-scale internal tools and consumer-facing products, learning how to make complex technology work for real people.
She left Google in 2025 to do one thing: help teams actually use Claude — not just pay for it. With a background in neuroscience and a deep understanding of how people learn and adopt new tools, Nicole bridges the gap between what Claude can do and what teams actually do with it.
Why Claude specifically?
Nicole doesn’t teach generic AI. She teaches Claude. Why? Because Claude is the most capable AI assistant for business teams, and its feature set — Projects, Skills, MCP connectors — is uniquely powerful when properly configured.
100% of her business runs on Claude. Every proposal, every client deliverable, every internal workflow. She doesn’t recommend tools she doesn’t use daily. When she trains your team, she’s teaching the exact system she uses to run her own company.
There are fewer than 10 Claude-specific training providers globally. Nicole is one of them — and the only one who includes implementation, not just education.
