Meet Nina

My work has always been about people — customers, teams, and the lived impact we make in our communities. I’m a designer and coach who invites self-discovery for designers in moments of transition and craft mentorship for folks inside companies. My style is warm, direct, and grounded in partnership.

I bring decades of experience inside high-growth product teams, including early Stripe, Mailchimp, Twilio, and Faire to help people navigate complexity, grow with intention, and trust their own perspective.

I’m a proud Midwesterner with stints building teams in San Francisco, Berlin, and NYC. Across this site, you’ll find imagery from places meaningful to me, which continue to shape how I see the world and how I work. I surf, read tarot cards, and practice activities that help me develop slow curious attention that makes good design — and good decisions — possible.
