Creative direction with taste, teeth, and a little trouble.
I'm Nora Rose Travis, a Creative Director, storyteller, and brand stylist. I make things that feel. Things that stay with you. From launching eye drops in Times Square to building equity campaigns from the inside out, I turn briefs into movements and brands into experiences.
A little more about me
I’m a Brooklyn-based Creative Director with a background in writing, film, and visual storytelling. I’ve led award-winning campaigns across health, beauty, tech, and equity, working with brands like Nike, Microsoft, Bausch + Lomb and Pfizer.
Whether I’m concepting a 3D billboard or directing a film, my work starts with story and ends with feeling. I believe creative should seduce, surprise, and demand a second look. That’s where the impact lives. That’s how brands get remembered.
I’ve built teams, rebuilt brands, and reshaped how healthcare advertising shows up in the world. But what I love most is making work that resonates visually, emotionally, and culturally.
I’m a Creative Director with a dangerous obsession for bold design, big ideas, and making things far too beautiful to ignore. With over 17 years of experience turning ordinary concepts into extraordinary visual experiences, I thrive on walking the fine line between meticulous execution and delightful chaos—because really, where’s the fun in playing it safe?
From award-winning campaigns to crafting entire brand identities with a flick of my stylus, my ability to lead teams to creative brilliance is fueled by a love of storytelling and an unshakable belief that design should feel as good as it looks. I’ve never met a brand I couldn’t elevate, a challenge I couldn’t creatively solve, or a detail too small to make fabulous.
When I’m not meticulously crafting the next iconic brand campaign, I’m probably thinking about how to make the world a little more stylish, one perfectly placed pixel at a time. In short: I’m a creative force to be reckoned with, and I’m just getting started. Contact me for access to my password-protected work.
