Nina M.
Hi! I’m Nina, a Japan-based artist, illustrator, and surface pattern designer creating colorful, playful artwork inspired by love, joy, fairytale motifs, tropical nature, and a joyful color palette.
I'm an artist, illustrator, and surface pattern designer currently based in Tokyo. I'm originally from Nagoya, Japan, with a multicultural background.
After spending about a decade in New York City working in the hotel industry, I shifted my focus to building a creative career.
My work is influenced by bright color palettes, love, joy, tropical nature, cute animals, and the places I've been.
