Who I am




Hello! Thank you for being here. My name is Nina Ripich.
I am an Art Director, Designer, and fine artist
hailing from the vibrant, rust belt town of Cleveland, Ohio.


  



As an Art Director,
I have worn many hats...

• Graphic Designer
• Painter & Illustrator
• Digital painter
• Inspiration collector
• Timeline juggler
• Collaborater
• Craft explorer
• Type enthusiast
• Team cookie baker
• Collage artist
• Mixed media nerd
• Textile artist
• Movie recommender
• Seeker of new techniques
• Scanner aficionado




My process is very analog forward.

I sketch ideas first, implementing my painterly sensibilites & love for experimentation with different mediums. 

I have worked at fast paced 
movie poster agencies in Hollywood,  
directly with filmmakers, musicians,
and small businesses to create posters, promotional materials, logos, and book designs.

I bring my love for simply creating & playing into every project.



I’m obsessed with making things-
any craft, any medium, I’m in.


I love to knit, weave, sew, felt, bind books, throw pottery, garden, bake, make handmade cards,
small sculptures, blow glass, you name it. 


I’m drawn to crafts and materials of every shape, scale, and texture.


A portion of my sketchbook collection - from teenagehood to now.

My home studio

A painter, drawer, and messy maker at heart- I studied Painting at RISD for my BFA. 

I am also an advid film photographer and super 8 video shooter. Always a sucker for a good sunset, you can often finding me running out of the house without shoes on to capture the fleeting light.
