Pinanip is Cristina Pina, a designer based in Lisbon, Portugal.
Hello! Welcome to my online portfolio, I’m Cristina. I live in Lisbon and I mostly work as a graphic and motion designer. I also do illustration and animation, and I enjoy experimenting with different mediums, especially textiles and ceramics.
I went to university in Porto and upon graduation spent some outside of Portugal living in a couple of different places. One of those places was Bangkok, which with its colorful atmosphere had a deep impact on my work.
I love dogs and I love tennis and I would say currently those things really inform my practice... I try to include tennis and dogs in everything I make, and my dream is going to a Grand Slam and make lots of dog & tennis art. I also love food, especially dishes that involve some sort of spicyness. On my free time if I’m not playing tennis (I am not very good yet but working on it) I might be 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). More recently I am really into Mario Kart World on the Switch 2. If any of this resonates with you and you’d like to chat feel free to email me!
Have a fantastic day
