about
Hey! I'm Deanna, a creative designer based in Austin, TX. Nocturna is my own personal little black hole in the universe, built around the dead of night, retro tech, alternative music, and a deep love of dark-mode interfaces. It's an eclectic collection of my professional work and a reflection of my own personal brand. What I create with you will be a reflection of yours. :)

I'm currently prioritizing full-time opportunities with product-minded teams. I also take on freelance projects on a selective basis. If either sounds like a fit, I'd love to hear from you.
