Hi, I’m Nursena.
Born in Washington, D.C. where everyone’s a diplomat, I traded treaties for treatments and found myself in NYC. I’m an art director and designer fueled by pop culture, news, and late-night coffee. My design ethos is grounded in concept and craft, creating purposeful design that delivers value, all while doing it alongside kind, cool people.
I also teach in my spare time at the George Washington University Corcoran School of the Arts & Design and do all things social on the AIGA DC board.
HMU if you need café recs or also believe black coffee is the only real way to drink it.
