Experience
Nina is a Do-It-Yourselfer who enjoys coming up with unique builds that are full of color. Her background is environmental and outdoor education, and has experience with urban farms, gardens, and wildlife management. Growing up, her parents were always finishing a basement, painting cabinets, and adding a bit of creativity wherever they lived. This rubbed off on Nina and inspires her as a home owner. When she isn’t creating for Family Handyman or daydreaming about DIY projects, she's writing stories, making environmental friendly cleaning products, tending her garden, canning for the winter, and caring for her chickens.
