Hi, I'm Nisnow! You might know me as phantom_nisnow online, Nis, or Rin. I'm a software engineer by day, a fanatic artist, and a totally sane writer by night.I love working together with passionate people on zines, whether to share our love for something to the world or for good causes. I hope to inspire people to keep being creative and awesome artists through zines. My overly ambitious nature and dedication make me put lots of love and work towards these projects as I wish for them to succeed.I've been described as friendly, kind, reliable, hard-working, insane, and enthusiastic by mods in the projects I've worked in. I make too many puns and am not afraid to say them. Organized chaos tends to ensue with my presence sometimes, but I promise it's for the greater good :)I am no longer available to help on other projects.
