ABOUT ME

Nina Lesznik

Nina Lesznik
SINCE 2015
Self-Employment

My roots lie in production design where I discovered my passion for craftsmanship and design. I soon started working avocationally as a production design assistant. Since beginning my design degree I‘ve been able to gather a lot of work experience as a communication designer, as well. 

Since 2015, I have done various tasks that have heightened my manual skills and operating common software. My strength lies in conceptual work, in planning how to fulfill a project and focussing on which aspects should be covered, even before production has started. I am very resilient and work precisely, even under pressure. Another strength is my great sense of colors and structures. 

Meanwhile I started working in the field of interior design. As for instance with Frédérique Desvaux and SEEBALD – Studio für Architektur & Gestaltung.


2017 – 2022
Design Study (B.A.)

The goal of this degree was to learn a conceptual way of designing that works both on an individual level as well as in the collective setting. It prepares us for a visual examination of both problems and questions. 

In each semester, we jointly formulated a research question and developed individual answers, participated in current design discourses and topics and planed and executed a design experiment. 

After my basic studies in Communication Design, I acquired further skills in Exhibition Design, Industrial Design & Product Design through in-depth projects, which makes me a generalist Designer.


SOFT SKILLS

Communication

I‘m not only good at communicating in general, but also confident at constructive discussions. Both in German and English.
Design works best with proper communication and conversation in my experience.

Teamwork

Both in university life and my self-employment, I‘m confronted with working in a team on a daily basis. This interaction is rewarding, inspiring and more than essential for valuable Design.

Dedication

Deadlines, client satisfaction and the stress involved are familiar to me. I‘m able to stay focused in situations of unforeseen and increased work requirements.

Keen perception

I‘m eager to learn new things and skills. My quick comprehension allows me to grasp complex tasks.

Ability to take criticism

„I like criticism. It makes you strong.“
– LeBron James

Self-discipline

In my opinion, one can create outstanding ideas with constant self-discipline and self-control.
