About Me
Originally from the Bronx and based in New York City, Nina is a multiracial, queer Nuyorican Sound Designer with a decade of experience working in the live theater and entertainment industry.
She enjoys working on new works, experimental theater, immersive theater, contemporary plays, and contemporary musicals. She approaches her work holistically, by analyzing space, creating content, and collaborating with her colleagues. She utilizes current industry standards for content creation, programming, and design for sound reinforcement systems.
She has a wide understanding of genres and is familiar with many artistic artforms including literature, film, music and interactive video entertainment. Some artists that she finds a kinship with that include (but not limited to) are Run the Jewels, .clipping, Hole, Bikini Kill, The Decemberists, Ana Tijoux, Gloria Estefan, Bomba Estéreo, Daft Punk, and Justice. She also finds David Lynch’s work particularly inspiring and is interested in the liminal spaces in between. Lastly, she has looked to interactive video entertainment for design inspiration in her work, from how effects are designed to how they are triggered. Nina is keen on outside-the-box thinking and looks to push her creative energies to create masterful work.
