NORA STUDIO DESIGN WITH CHARACTER
Design that’s personal, a bit wonky, and perfectly yours. Nora Studio is an Oxford-based design studio creating modern branding and illustration for brands that love good design.
About Me
Hi, I’m Cristina, the designer behind Nora Studio, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Oxford, UK.
Nora isn’t a big agency , it’s just me, creating personal, funny and well-crafted design work for brands that want to stand out.
My projects range from illustrative brand identities to funky poster designs, editorial layouts, and ready-to-print merch.
I love collaborating directly with local businesses, artists, and makers — people who care about design that feels authentic, modern and a little bit playful.
You’ll always work directly with me, from first sketch to final delivery.
Besides creating stuff, I love cycling, bike-packing and photography. You will probably find me on my bike when I’m not working.

How we work
Playful by nature, polished by design.
Blending a playful, slightly wonky touch with a love for structure and detail. Every project is approached with curiosity and care, aiming for visuals that feel both fresh and timeless.
Direct collaboration
No middle layers, no design by committee. It’s just you and me shaping something original, from the first sketch to the final file.
Versatile & well-rounded
Each project is treated as a whole — from concept to color palette to final detail — ensuring it all connects and makes sense.
Trendy yet timeless
Designs that feel fresh today and still relevant tomorrow — staying ahead without chasing trends.
Illustration-led design
I love visual storytelling. Whether it’s a brand, poster, or sticker, illustration often sneaks in — adding character, humor, and warmth.
Playful precision
Every project balances imagination and structure — a mix of quirky ideas, clean design, and a bit of magic in between.
Direct collaboration
No middle layers, no design by committee. It’s just you and me shaping something original, from the first sketch to the final file.
