My name is Nina Soldati and I’ve been seriously making videos for about three years, though I was a Windows Movie Maker aficionado as a kid. I moved to Eugene in 2019 to transfer to UO, but ultimately decided to take 3 years off to figure out what I wanted to do.

I didn’t know anyone in town and started making videos to fill my time. I quickly discovered my love for all things related to the video creation process, from content ideation to acting to editing. As more time passed and my abilities improved, I was able to build a following and gain traction as a creator. Through sheer luck, and the right people seeing my videos, I’ve been able to transition my hobby into a side job and have created original content for brands like Amazon, Lenovo, and MOD Pizza.

All that said, I decided to start the Multimedia Design program here at Lane because I want to learn the nitty-gritty details, theories, and technical skills to create larger projects and grow as a creator. I have a lot to learn and I’m 100% ready to put in the work to get the most out of this program. I’m so excited to be able to collaborate with my classmates and push my creative skills as far as they can go!
