Get to know me!
Hi I'm Nina and I'm a designer based in Southern California and a graduate from The Savannah College of Art and Design. I am energetic and goal oriented with a happy-go-lucky personality, always looking for the positives around me. Filled with curiosity and inspired by color and nostalgia. I have been cutting out magazines and creating mood boards before I knew what they were. I enjoying combining different mediums to convey stories and experiences. I love fun textures, bold colors and making art that evokes positive emotions.
Music and nature have always been a huge inspiration in my life and my art. Through experimenting with every art form I knew I wanted to pursue digital design. I am excited to continue my creative career and look forward to a position where I can continue to learn and grow while contributing to the mission of the team.
