POSTS STORIES REELS

Today, I walked past this little free library in my neighborhood and realized… it was looking a little sad.

So I decided to do something about it.

I stopped by my local bookstore, picked up some books and bookmarks, and brought them back to give the library a little refresh.

& honestly, it’s such a small thing, but I love the idea of leaving something behind that someone else gets to enjoy.

Anyway… consider this your sign to go fill a little free library near you. 😉🤍 by @noraknadjian

I am overflowing with gratitude. The response over the past few days has completely blown me away, and my heart is so incredibly full!⁣ 🤍
⁣
To be honest, I originally designed and printed this piece just for myself. After the 2020 Artsakh war, like so many Armenians, I was changed forever. Through the grief of the lives lost and the destruction of our sacred places and monuments like Mamig & Babig, I turned to what I’ve always done in difficult moments: I created art. I created this minimalist design because my heart simply wanted to carry Mamig & Babig with me wherever I went.⁣
⁣
When so many of you started expressing interest, I threw together a not-so-fancy order form... and I have been amazed by your support ever since!!
⁣
The “We Are Our Mountains” 100% cotton canvas tote is a meaningful, durable everyday bag inspired by one of the most beloved symbols of our heritage, resilience, and identity. It was created to carry a piece of our motherland wherever life takes you. 🇦🇲

Hi, friends! I have something special to share. 🤍🇦🇲

After the 2020 Artsakh war, I (like so many Armenians) was changed forever. Through the grief of the lives lost, the destruction of our sacred places, monuments like Mamig & Babig, and our churches, I did what I’ve always turned to in difficult moments: I created art.

I sketched this minimalist design because my heart wanted to carry Mamig & Babig with me wherever I went. Then I thought… maybe you’d want to, too.

Introducing the “We Are Our Mountains” cotton canvas tote… a meaningful everyday bag inspired by one of the most beloved symbols of our heritage, resilience, and identity.

2 years married. 10 years together. A lifetime to go.

Happy anniversary to my best friend and the most hardworking, loving, and compassionate husband.

You are my greatest blessing, and I couldn’t be more excited for everything this next chapter will bring for us. 🤍 #KachianCelebration2024 by @noraknadjian

This summer, my goal is to tap back into my creative expression. Art was always my first form of therapy. Then came dance.

This one is a tribute to the motherland— Armenia (with the help of ai).

Beneath Ararat’s ancient snow,
A quiet strength begins to glow.
Lake Sevan whispers soft and blue,
While faith and fire still shine through.

With pomegranate roots so deep,
And sacred crosses watch they keep,
She carries Armenia in her soul...
A timeless heart, forever whole.

Celebrating 10 years of being American this May. 🇺🇸

These photos + clips are from my family’s private naturalization service. Such a special moment. 🤍 by @noraknadjian

Mentally, I’m here… overdressed + relaxing by the San Diego ocean with my pet tiger + zero explanations.

Hay, there! October called. It wants me to post more pumpkins. So here. by @noraknadjian

Armenians love pumpkins (“ghapama”) so much, we literally have a song dedicated to them. 🎃

Also, I finally took photos for the first time in forever—so brace yourself, my feed is about to become 100% pumpkin content until I do something else post-worthy. by @noraknadjian
