Lumen

Brand & packaging design · 2024

A full identity and packaging system for a solar-hardware startup — wordmark, a colour system built around light readings, and packaging that had to survive a warehouse, not a shelf.

  • Shipped across 4,000 retail units in the first run

Strand

Product design · 2023 — 2024

Product design for a fabric-sourcing marketplace — the interface had to make thousands of near-identical materials feel legible at a glance.

  • Cut time-to-first-sample by a third in usability testing

Meridian

Identity design · 2022 — 2023

A visual identity for an independent publisher of long-form journalism — a mark that reads at favicon size and as a two-storey window installation.

Facet

Art direction · 2021 — Present

An ongoing collaboration with a jewellery maker — seasonal look-books and a small commerce site built around how the pieces actually catch light.

About

I run a one-person studio working across brand identity, product design, and the occasional exhibition. Most projects start the same way: a founder who knows their product is good and can't explain why it doesn't feel that way yet.

I like long projects with room to think, and clients who are willing to cut something that isn't working. Based in Toronto, working with people everywhere.

What clients say

Noor turned a product I couldn't explain into a brand people ask about. Every round of feedback made the work sharper, not just different.

Alix Bergström — Founder, Lumen

The rare designer who says no to the wrong idea before you have to ask.
