A little bit about Nina…

Nina leads Curioso’s Chicago studio, where she focuses on designing meaningful projects that impact the way humans interact with physical space. Beyond loving to eat, drink, travel and explore, she has more than a decade of hands-on experience in hospitality. Today, Nina’s leadership on concept development and creating powerful brand stories ensures that each project truly responds to the specific challenges presented by the client team, locale, and architecture.

With her background in business, economics and finance, Nina brings unique insight and knowledge of the industry’s day-to-day process. Her expertise contributes to all aspects of a project, from operations and investment strategy to property development and planning, supporting each project through far more than just design.

Because community engagement is at the core of Nina’s business principles, she is proud to be a member of the Board of Directs for both the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA) and Choose Chicago. In these roles, Nina leverages her experience to help bring conventions, public events, tourists and business travelers to Chicago as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen the state and city economies.
