Why Helia LOVES Nina

Nina has always been fun, witty, thoughtful, and a human who gets things done and is constantly learning along the way. She celebrates and centers humans, while also figuring out how to make sense of the systems, processes, and tools that we all need around us. Anyone that creates The Layoff Guide with a subtitle, How to Do a Shitty Thing in the Least Shitty Way, is our kind of human (they made a guide, they acknowledge the shittiness, they’re funny!).

Nina finds joy + ease in

Cuddling the cats, crocheting, reading British mysteries, taking long walks
