About Nora Brown Design

Working with me

I'm reliable, knowledgeable, efficient… and just generally a helpful person. I draw on a broad base of experience to understand each client's goals and constraints.

What Clients Say

We have partnered with Nora on a number of client projects. She is always the first call I make when a client needs web design or development help. Her work is top notch and she is responsive to the client's needs. We have enjoyed working with her, and look forward to future projects with her!

Pat McManus, founder, Data Point Partners

We have been working with Nora for over 3 years to build out our client portal. In that time she has been exceptional to work with and has consistently delivered what we were expecting, on time and on budget. We look forward to a long-term continued relationship.

John Olson, Nova Power Cloud Solutions Inc.

I worked with Nora in the tech team at Smart Destinations for 2.5 years and was impressed with her proficiency in front end technologies. Her thoughtful layout of mobile and desktop pages using in-vogue UI techniques combined with her analysis via Google Analytics increased page views/revenue. She kept herself up-to-date with the latest front end technologies and had a very positive impact that created great camaraderie among the team. One other key strength that Nora possesses is her ability to focus/avoid distractions and put her head down and get the job done which is rare in this day and age where distractions abound. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would jump at another opportunity to do so.

Ganesh Murthy, Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat Inc.

Nora created a logo and website, as well as business cards and ancillary printed items for my new business. I never give someone my business card without their commenting on how nice it is. The identity she created for me has helped give me credibility in a new field. Nora is not only brilliant creatively, she is a dream to work with. She's smart, responsive, and always has great suggestions and advice. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
