(02) About
Design is how a business speaks when nobody from it is in the room.
I’m Nora, an independent designer working where brand and product meet. I started out designing record sleeves and gig posters in Oslo, spent six years in Copenhagen leading design teams, and in 2019 set up my own practice in Lisbon.
Today I partner with a handful of clients each year, usually founders and in-house teams who want one person to own the thinking from the first workshop to the final file. I’m happiest when a project needs both a strong idea and the patience to sweat every detail.
Away from the desk you’ll find me printing on an old Risograph, swimming in the Atlantic all year round, or arguing about typefaces with anyone who will listen.

(05) Testimonials
Kind words
Nora understood our roastery better than we did after a single visit. The new identity made us look like the company we had been trying to become for years, and wholesale enquiries doubled within six months.
A rare mix of taste and rigour. She rebuilt our onboarding, then left us with a design system our engineers actually reach for.
Calm, decisive and extraordinarily good at listening. Working with Nora felt less like hiring a designer and more like gaining a partner.
