Project Manager
A designer and fine artist by training, Nina keeps projects humming along smoothly at Ciampa Creative. Her love for lists and grids shines in her project workflows, yet her thinking breaks through the boundaries of any box. With a master of fine arts degree from Lesley University, Nina came to Boston by way of Canada, Germany, and her birthplace of Switzerland. She studied international relations and economics as an undergraduate. In addition, Nina is the studio’s go-to color consultant, a skill she continuously hones in her fine art studio.
