Her films and projects have received international recognition, including prestigious awards such as the Online Journalism Award, IDA nomination, Student Academy finalist, BAFTA Student finalist, MTV Music Video Award and commercial projects placed among the ten most highly valued in “Ads of the World.” Nani was a 2009/10 resident of SFFILM's FilmHouse Program.

In addition, Nani is a pioneer in new media storytelling. She led an interdisciplinary group for over two years at UC Berkeley, developing AR/VR prototypes in partnership with the Center for Augmented Cognition and The Fung Institute.
