The studio develops consumer software across mobile and web, combining modern AI techniques with thoughtful product design. The emphasis is on clarity, usability, and long-term engagement rather than short-term optimization.
Astra Nora currently develops two products:
- Astra Nora — an AI-powered astrology and self-discovery app that supports reflection, journaling, and relational insight.
- The Journey — a personal growth and awareness app centered on values, daily reflection, and long-term inner development (in development).
Products are designed and built end-to-end, covering product definition, system architecture, engineering, UX/UI design, and deployment.
The studio focuses on small, well-crafted products with a clear point of view and real user value.
Privacy & Data Protection
Privacy is a core design constraint at Astra Nora. Data is encrypted during transfer and stored encrypted. We do not share user data with third parties—and we will never do so.
Founder & Stewardship
Astra Nora is a founder-led studio. I design and build its products end-to-end—from concept and system architecture to engineering, UX, and deployment.
My background spans both technology and human-centered practice. Before founding Astra Nora, I spent over a decade designing and leading programs focused on self-awareness, emotional resilience, and long-term personal development. Returning to technology, I began translating those insights into carefully crafted digital tools.
The studio exists to explore how modern AI can support reflection and clarity—without dark patterns, growth pressure, or extractive incentives.
