Hi! My name is Nina. I am a graphic designer and illustrator from Munich, Germany. Currently I am pursuing a Master's in Illustration at HAW Hamburg. I am passionate about creating dreamy, imaginative worlds and draw a lot of my inspiration from nature. Also I am enthusiastic about the ocean and everything that has to do with it. 
I look forward to collaborating on projects with you!
