Hi, I’m Nursena (which means "light").

Born in Washington, D.C. where everyone’s a diplomat, I traded treaties for treatments and found myself in NYC. I’m a designer and art director fueled by culture, stories, and late-night coffee. I approach design as an act of storytelling; using defined concept and craft to shape the way visuals build and carry a narrative.

When I’m not designing, you can find me escaping into a novel or staring at a Magritte in the MoMA.

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