Fun Fact: It’s pure coincidence that my name is so present in the shot.
That was nobody’s intention.

See the snail in the background? It’s an amazing artwork by Merlin Stadler.

As usual with props and equipment we Production Designers like to hide the names of our art department colleagues in the objects we design ourselves.
Here I hid my initials and it again was seen very clearly in a shot.

ABOUT ME

Nina Lesznik

I’m Nina Lesznik, a freelance designer & production designer from Munich, with a reliable, exact and result-oriented approach to work. Since 2015 I have done various tasks that have solidified my manual skills and operating the common design programs. My strength lies in conceptual work, in planning how to fulfill a project and which aspects should be covered, even before production has started.

Take a look at MY DESIGN PORTFOLIO to see some of the work I’ve done so far.

My roots lie in production design, where I found my passion for craftsmanship and design. I soon started working avocationally as a production design assistance and since the beginning of my design bachelor study i was able to gain a lot of work experience as a communication designer as well.

After my basic studies in communication design, I acquired further skills in exhibition design, industrial design & product design, which makes me a generalistic designer.

Here you can find out more ABOUT ME, my skills and which software tools I’m able to operate. And why i named my design portfolio website CUPRUM-DESIGN.
