Hi, I'm Nina. I design at a global scale, with simplicity, craft, and care for every detail.

I'm a senior product designer with 5+ years of experience at Instagram, where I've led design for some of the app's recent big bets. I studied Computer Science at Princeton University, and I bring that technical foundation into everything I design. Outside of work, you'll find me dancing, painting, knitting, taking photos, or picking up whatever creative pursuit I haven't tried yet.

Based in NYC

Prototyping Highlights

I fell in love with Origami during my first Design internship. I love to storytell through prototyping, and have enjoyed teaching others while at Instagram.
