About Nora Stratton's Work

I'm a versatile creative professional based in Sausalito, combining photography, graphic design, e-commerce expertise, and community communications. I help brands, organizations, and local initiatives tell their story with clarity, creativity, and impact. From capturing compelling visuals to designing memorable brand identities and building engaging digital experiences, every project is tailored to reflect the unique story behind each brand or initiative.

With a focus on thoughtful, user-friendly, and high-impact design, I don't just deliver visually appealing work—I build connections that resonate with audiences. Over the past several years, my work has expanded into community engagement, advocacy, and nonprofit campaigns, helping organizations communicate effectively and strengthen their connection with the people they serve.

Photography
With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in commercial, product, and event photography, including editorial, portrait, concert, and corporate events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. My passion for photography is reflected in every image, helping brands and organizations tell their story with high-quality visuals that engage audiences and drive results.

Graphic Design
I create cohesive visual identities and compelling digital and print assets, including websites, look-books, ad campaigns, social media content, and publications. Each project is designed to enhance brand identity, captivate audiences, and maximize impact across platforms.

E-Commerce & Digital Solutions
I provide end-to-end e-commerce solutions, from website design and platform management to digital marketing, UX, and analytics. Whether you need a Shopify store, engaging product photography, or targeted campaigns, I deliver tailored solutions that improve user experience, drive sales, and generate measurable results.

About Me

I was born and raised in a small town outside of Munich Germany. While growing up in Europe, I found the seeds of my artistic expression through museum visits in Munich, inspired by late 19th / early 20th Century masters.

I remained in Germany, completing my education with a degree in Psychology and Fine Arts before arriving in the United States in the Spring of 1997. After exploring various parts of the country, I settled into the houseboat community of Sausalito, California late in that same year where I remain today with my husband, Nathan, my daughter Charly & son Iver.
