Nora Albrecht Studio A print monograph for brand identities, packaging, posters, and type.

About the Practice

A design studio desk with type specimens and printed proofs.

I'm Nora Albrecht, a graphic and brand designer. My studio treats each commission like a spread in an ongoing monograph — considered typography, a restrained palette, and enough contrast to hold a wall or a shelf.

How I work

Most projects start with a working session on the brand's voice before a single mark is drawn. From there the system is built in parallel: wordmark, colour, type, and the first few applications, so the identity is tested against real packaging and print before it is finished.

Lectures & Talks

Alongside client work, I teach and speak on type and identity design:

  • "Type as Structure" — a lecture on building identity systems from a single typeface, AIGA New York
  • "Packaging on a Shelf" — a workshop on packaging hierarchy for emerging brands
  • Guest critic, graphic design thesis reviews, Parsons School of Design

Studio

The studio is based in New York and works with clients across the country, in person and remotely.
