Tripepi Smith is thrilled to welcome Nina Garcia to the team as its newest senior graphic designer on September 22.
With more than 20 years of experience across creative agencies, in-house teams and independent freelance work, Nina brings a deep and diverse portfolio of marketing skills and brand strategy for both print and digital platforms.
Nina began her career at a marketing and communications agency, collaborating with clients to produce high-impact creative assets and managing projects from concept through completion. She later joined a software as a service company, where she played a key role in streamlining communications, driving user engagement and reinforcing brand consistency across product, marketing and executive teams.
Afterward, she built a thriving freelance business, partnering with more than 90 clients to elevate their visual identities and drive revenue through tailored, professional design solutions. Most recently, she worked at an educational technology company, where she contributed to comprehensive design systems, developed scalable templates and defined core brand elements that supported the creation of curriculum materials used nationwide.
“I’m excited to collaborate with local government organizations and support the important work they do. Tripepi Smith is an industry leader and provides huge opportunities for professionals to make an impact across the sector,” said Nina. “Through meaningful and strategic design, we help our clients enhance public engagement and strengthen constituent outreach.”
Nina holds a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from University of California, Los Angeles and lives in Santa Clarita with her family.
“Tripepi Smith has experienced increased demands for graphic design and branding support across our multistate footprint. Keeping up with demand requires that we add more depth to our design bench,” said President Ryder Todd Smith. “Nina’s extensive experience is a fantastic asset to the firm. Her design expertise and marketing acumen will enhance our creative team capacity and deliver real value to our clients.”
