    My name is Nora, I am a community educator, illustrator, and graphic designer. I am passionate about creating beautiful things and working with cool people! I have a professional history of working in non profits, where I created countless marketing materials, fliers, and social media graphics for no additional pay. I recently left that world to start my own web design company, Woven Digital Design, with my best friend. I continue to do freelance illustration and graphic design, as well as mural and window painting, under my art company Flavor Dust. My illustration style is playful and colorful, but also quite dynamic. I love to create work that is geared towards children, but my style also translates beautifully into personalized pieces such as wedding invitations or birth announcements. Works where the smallest detail makes the biggest impact is where I tend to shine.

    I am an architect from the Dominican Republic who is a passionate interior designer by profession, and through design I love to respond to the needs and desires of my clients, creating functional spaces with the capacity to become emitters of stimulating sensations, resulting in great improvements in their daily activities. My main focus is to transmit the importance of good management of interior and exterior spaces and how these can develop a positive impact on the ones who live in them. Since I was a child, I wanted to create beautiful things, and even though my mayor is in architecture, my freelance focus has been residential and commercial interiors. These almost six years of experience have left me a fondness for design in general, from layout to general branding.
