  • "The layout was both functional and aesthetically pleasing, creating an enjoyable experience for customers."

    Yasser Hussien, Managing Director of DOSAN Architects

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Nina for a period of 18 months at Scrunch. Nina was called on for her expertise in design, marketing, customer experience and life styling. I was so impressed with Nina’s ability to create, innovate and get things done. She is a positive addition to any team and fits into any environment with ease. Nina brings passion and style to every project. Personally I am in awe of Nina’s ability to take on large projects, make them her own and produce such amazing results.”

    Daniele Lewis, Co-founder, Scrunch

  • “Nina has a wonderful ability to adapt to the client brief and inject her own sense of style, which came across strongly in the projects we worked on together, most recently a homewares spread for the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre winter magazine. The result was chic, sophisticated and individual.”
