Adalina Aladro, also known as Nina, is a multidisciplinary creative working across fine art, photography, film, and animation. As a Social Creative Marketing, Community Partnerships, and Programming Manager in immersive theater, she develops and leads initiatives that connect creative vision with audience engagement.
Her role focuses on shaping and executing social strategy, creative campaigns, and cultural programming that strengthen brand identity and foster meaningful community relationships. She oversees the creation of visual and digital content across photography, film, and animation, while building partnerships with artists, organizations, and creators to expand reach and deepen audience connection.
Bridging strategy and artistry, her work spans creative direction, content production, partnership development, and programming, ensuring that each project is both visually compelling and culturally resonant. Guided by emotional intelligence and collaboration, she believes the most powerful experiences emerge where creative vision, community, and storytelling come together.
Her leadership blends structure with intuition, pairing clear strategy and a strong visual point of view with room for experimentation and growth. Years of working across creative, marketing, and production environments have strengthened her ability to collaborate fluidly with artists, marketers, technicians, and producers, turning ambitious ideas into fully realized campaigns and experiences.
She is proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Meta Business Suite, Dotdigital, Google Workspace, Slack, Airtable, Monday.com, WhenIWork, and other industry tools. Alongside technical expertise, she brings strong experience in budgeting, scheduling, analytics, partnership coordination, and cross functional team management, ensuring that creative vision is supported by operational clarity and measurable impact.
Alongside her professional work, she maintains a studio art practice rooted in collage and assemblage. Working with found paper, dried flowers, book pages, and hand cut forms, she constructs layered, surreal environments where cities drift, memory folds into the present, and inner landscapes take visible shape.
Her compositions are influenced by Taoist ideas of flow and balance, Confucian harmony, and Aristotle’s sense of interconnected purpose, as well as Gaston Bachelard’s poetics of space, Henri Bergson’s intuitive understanding of time, and Walter Benjamin’s attention to fragments and the hidden forces they carry.
Her work has been exhibited in group exhibitions and supported through grant funding, recognizing both the conceptual depth and evolving presence of her artistic practice.
For Adalina, every artwork, campaign, and written piece is a quiet act of philosophical assembly. Recently, she completed Harvard’s online workshop Chinese Philosophy: The Path to Happiness, deepening her engagement with the teachings of Confucius and Laozi and further shaping her approach to creativity, presence, and human connection.
She views creative work, whether composed of paper, pixels, or lived experience, as a form of attention. A way of noticing, of bringing meaning to fragments, and of creating moments that resonate. Through both her artistic and professional practice, she seeks to build spaces, images, and narratives that invite reflection, connection, and a deeper awareness of the present.
Early in her career, Adalina worked in Los Angeles as an assistant camera and Steadicam operator on music video productions with Lyrical Lemonade and major record labels. Being on set for high profile shoots with artists at the center of cultural conversation taught her how to adapt quickly, anticipate creative needs, and capture movement with precision. These experiences strengthened her technical understanding of cinematography and gave her a deep respect for the collaborative nature of large scale production.
During this time, she also founded and led her own production company, Something Like This, where she produced and directed original projects. The studio operated as a creative space for photo and film shoots, while also supporting her own filmmaking practice. In addition to managing the studio, she directed several short films, developing her voice as a visual storyteller and gaining hands on experience leading projects from concept through completion.
Born in Paris and having lived in Florence, Los Angeles, and now New York City, she draws from each city’s cultural rhythm to shape the worlds she creates, both on the page and within the frame.
Her artistic journey began in film. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Editing and Special Effects from the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français, studied animation at Atelier de Sèvres in Paris, and completed a Master’s in Filmmaking and Producing at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. Film taught her how to cut, structure, and sculpt time, an instinct that continues to inform her approach across mediums, from visual storytelling and campaign direction to collage and immersive experiences.
