Nina Kristensen, Ninja Theory

Joining the merry family that is the games industry back in 1996, Nina started out at Millennium Interactive as a graduate artist and spent two years modelling and animating MediEvil’s quirky in-game characters.

Her experience there opened doors at Sony where Nina worked as a Lead Artist, later becoming Art Manager for the Cambridge Studio.

Ninja Theory started life as Just Add Monsters which Nina co-founded and has helped develop into one of the largest independent game developers in the UK. Along with other projects, Ninja Theory has overseen the development of the PS3 game, 'Heavenly Sword'.

Nina won the Businesswoman of the Year award in the Cambridge Evening News’ Business Excellence Awards 2005.
