Hi! I’m Nina, a multi-disciplinary designer based in the Garden State. I explore the joy of silliness by creating work that is bold, playful, and captivating.

I’m a designer, illustrator, and GIF maker who spends countless hours creating artwork that looks straight from my middle school sketchbook. I design, draw, film, and animate everything in my home studio. My work is playful, colorful, and has a hint of the warm fuzziness of nostalgia.

I studied graphic design and motion graphics at the School of Visual Arts, and I thank all the Youtube videos I use to learn my technical skills. I continue my education today by taking classes at a local arts school.

I love connecting with my creative neighbors here in New Jersey by hosting drink & draw events and vending at local markets. In my free time, I’m either at a concert, binging Real Housewives (currently on Beverly Hills), or grabbing a dozen bagels from a local spot.

Currently booking for Spring / Summer 2025
