About

Hi, I'm Nina

I'm a writer and novelist whose fiction explores the ways homes hold memory and shape identity. For more than a decade, I worked in the home and design world, sharing the process of decorating, renovating, and living within spaces layered with story. What began as decorating was always something deeper: a fascination with how rooms witness our lives, how houses absorb joy and loss, and how place quietly shapes who we become.

Now, my work lives at the intersection of story and space. When I’m writing fiction, I return to the same question: how do the places we inhabit become part of who we are? Through essays, fiction, and the quiet rhythm of everyday life, I’m always chasing that feeling of home — not just cozy or beautiful, but layered with meaning and memory. If you’re someone who believes in the magic of old houses, handwritten letters, and books that stay with you long after the last page, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Heirloom Edit

I write The Heirloom Edit every week. It’s where the essays and stories appear first, along with notes from the writing desk and the small things I’ve been collecting along the way.

If you’ve been reading since the decorating days, I’m so glad you’re still here. If you’re new, this is the place to begin.
