Pinanip is Cristina Pina, a designer based in Lisbon, Portugal.
Hello! I am Cristina, a designer; designer? I am not sure if I can call myself a designer, I definitely am but it feels reductive, I am also an illustrator, an animator, motion designer, and occasionally screeprinter (been a while, tbh) and even more occasionally...ceramicist! I love ceramics and I guess I enjoy making them as well, but I am not great...or am I? Anyway I digress, I love dogs and I love tennis and I would say currently those things really define me and my practice... I try to include tennis and dogs in everything I make, and my dream is to get to go to a slam and just make lots of dog & tennis art. I also love food, especially dishes that involve some sort of spicyness, be it bird eye chillies or sichuan peppercorns. On my free time if I’m not playing tennis (I am not very good but working on it) I like watching movies, especially the ones that I have seen a million times but bring me lots of comfort (like Back to the Future) and also enjoy playing video games, either cozying up and hanging out in my island in Animal Crossing or playing Zelda (it takes me a long time to finish games and I am still going through Tears of the Kingdom). If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to chat feel free to email me!
Have a fantastic day!
