Nina Ripich

Art Director and Graphic Designer with over 5 years of experience in entertainment marketing, with a passion for storytelling. I specialize in cross-platform visual communication for film, television, and music.

Trained in fine art and graphic design at RISD and Otis College of Art & Design, I come with a deep appreciation for not only fine art, but also good design, ranging from posters to branding and editorial design.

• Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony: in 2022, I was the lead Art Director on the Rock Hall's Induction Ceremony campaign. I created the visual identity and the final posters for the live streamed show. As a Clevelander (working in LA at the time)- this was INCREDIBLY exciting!
• The Charlie Puth Show: I created the final poster and design for Charlie Puth's new show on Peacock. As a music lover and freelance designer for musicians, this was incredibly exciting!
