About Nina

Of French-Russian heritage, with family ties in the United States, Nina was born in La Rochelle and grew up in an international environment.

These experiences allowed her to explore different worlds while gradually defining what she values most in her work: understanding expectations, creating genuine connections and shaping experiences that go beyond the product or service itself.

Particularly attuned to the emotional dimension of an experience, Nina places great importance on the feelings that images, words and stories can evoke. She enjoys looking beyond an image, understanding what makes a place or a brand distinctive, and finding the right way to tell its story. It is a vision she sums up in a phrase that holds particular meaning for her: “Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.".

Career

In 2013, she moved to Mauritius, where she lived for four years, an experience that marked a major turning point in her life. Discovering new cultures, meeting people from different backgrounds and opening up to the wider world sparked an early curiosity for international horizons. It was also during this time that her interest in hospitality and luxury real estate began to take shape.

In August 2024, she joined Maxwell-Baynes as part of the Marketing, Communications and Events team. There, she has deepened her knowledge of luxury real estate and developed an approach to communications increasingly centred on the stories, identity and emotions behind each place.

Beyond work

This sensitivity is also reflected in her personal interests. Music and singing play an important role in her life, offering spaces for expression and freedom. She also has a particular interest in cooking, which she appreciates both for the discovery of new flavours and for what it represents: a moment of creativity, sharing and emotion.
