About Nina
I'm Nina Bennett, a multidisciplinary artist with over a decade of experience spanning game design, illustration, animation, and digital art. I've co-founded indie studios, art-directed award-winning games, and spent years bringing wild creative ideas to life. But my favorite moments have always been the ones where I get to help someone else discover what they're capable of. That split second when self-doubt transforms into "wait, I actually did that?" That's the magic I live for. I teach because I believe art isn't just about technique or talent. It's about curiosity, play, and having someone in your corner who says "yes, try that weird thing." It's about creating a space where mistakes are just experiments and where your unique creative voice matters. Whether you're picking up a pencil for the first time or leveling up your digital skills, I want to help you build the confidence to create work you're genuinely proud of. Because the world needs more people who know they can make beautiful, meaningful things.
