Hey, It's Nina

About

I have worked as a freelance designer across a number of industries for over 10 years and am currently undertaking a Bachelor of Visual Communication at Western Sydney University, over this time I have gained valuable experience,

  • Working with digital design tools such as Adobe CC
  • Exploring physical mediums such as printmaking and collage
  • Managing teams and working on solo projects
  • Developing, pitching and delivering briefs to clients
  • Managing client and co-worker relationships
  • Researching effectively and efficiently

Previous Work

  • Art Director, The Minties “Crawl Space”, 2023
    Working closely with the band I created a single cover that captured their overall band essence whilst exploring new visuals that reflected their upcoming single release.

  • Graphic Designer, Powerhouse Museum, 2023
    Designed and produced two posters for the 100 Climate Conversations project. Through this project I explored design for advertising versus design for public awareness. Both posters were selected for display during the event.

  • Workshop Co-coordinator, Coffee & Colour, 2019
    I organized and ran a series of free pour painting workshops with a local cafe to increase their weekend trade. The workshops provided a chance for people to explore their creative side and for some, be surprised by their hidden artistic ability.
