Nina is an idea-driven designer, who values quality story telling & craftsmanship.
I am currently a fourth-year BFA student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), with a focus in visual communication design. My work intersects art and design by combining analog processes and illustrative work with clean, thought-provoking graphic design.
