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 design that delivers value, all while doing it alongside kind, cool people.

I also teach part-time at the George Washington University Corcoran School of the Arts & Design and serve on the AIGA DC board as the Social Media Chair.

HMU if you need café recs or also believe black coffee is the only real way to drink it.
