Who We Are
Nocturne is a founder-led multidisciplinary institute advancing mission-driven work through data, research, and storytelling.
Each project is approached collaboratively and brings together a trusted network of specialists in research, strategy, and creative practice — allowing us to scale thoughtfully while remaining deeply engaged in the work. This model ensures intentional design, rigorous thinking, and tailored solutions for each partner.
Eva Valadrian- Founder and Principal
Eva is a writer, analyst, and communications strategist working at the intersection of storytelling, systems, and social impact.
Her work centers on helping organizations articulate what is often difficult to name: translating layered, nuanced, or technical work into narratives that resonate across audiences and contexts. Grounded in both storytelling and analysis, she integrates data, engagement insights, and research into her process, ensuring that narratives are not only compelling, but informed, intentional, and responsive to how people actually connect, understand, and act.
With a background spanning nonprofits, public agencies, and the private sector, she has developed a practice grounded in both creative and strategic thinking. She is particularly interested in the quieter dimensions of storytelling: how language builds trust, how narrative shapes perception, and how thoughtful communication can create alignment and understanding.
Eva’s approach is informed by a belief that good storytelling is not just expressive, but connective, linking people, ideas, and action in ways that are both meaningful and enduring.
“Effective communication sits at the intersection of narrative and insight. When story is grounded in data and shaped with intention, it doesn’t just inform—it creates connection, clarity, and momentum.”
