Hi, I’m Nina, a 25-year-old graphic designer from Waalwijk. Through my work at a music venue freelance projects, and self-initiated concepts, I’ve developed a strong passion for graphic design—especially visual identities, campaign design, and analog-inspired creative work that feels tangible and alive. When I’m not designing, I enjoy playing guitar, taking photographs, and doing sports, and I love using personal projects to experiment with new techniques and visual styles. I’m excited by opportunities to keep learning, collaborate with others, and further develop my craft—whether that’s turning a concert experience into visual storytelling or building bold festival identities across posters, social media, and online advertising.…

    Merchandise concept
    An independent visual concept for S10, inspired by a photograph I took at her Lowlands performance. I developed the image into a poster, vinyl label and merchandise, creating a consistent look across the pieces. Personal concept; not commissioned by or affiliated with S10.…
    Festival identity
    For Burning Down The House at MEZZ, I designed promotional materials for a festival celebrating garage rock, indie, post-punk and electronic music. I created stickers aimed at the skateboarding community and developed assets for both online and physical campaigns. More about this project on nina-at-nine.com.…
    Personal concept - Silk Sonic
    I created a retro-style LP cover using a single photograph I took myself. Instead of using artist portraits, I focused on atmosphere. The design imagines what an evening with Silk Sonic might feel like: smooth, warm and full of groove.…
    Personal concept - Olivia Dean
    Inspired by an Olivia Dean concert I attended, I created this independent visual concept to capture the music and the nostalgic feeling of that night. What began as a poster grew into a mixed-media animation using concert footage. Below, you can see the creative process and the handmade frames I scanned for the animation.…
    Festival identity
    For the 2025 edition of Ik Zie U Graag at MEZZ, a festival celebrating Belgian music talent in Breda, I developed a bold visual identity aimed at a broad audience. The concept used vibrant color combinations to represent different music genres. Custom patterns formed a flexible visual language that was applied across posters, city maps, timetables, bar lists, social media, banners, and on-site signage. More about this project on nina-at-nine.com.…
    Mixed media posters
    For Mezz by Night, I created a series of posters. For this series, I explored a mixed-media collage technique. Visual elements were physically torn, layered, and scanned, resulting in a raw, tactile aesthetic inspired by the energy and rhythm of electronic music. Each poster translates the artist’s identity into a dynamic visual composition, while the series as a whole reflects an experimental, hands-on approach to design.…
