Nolan Barret is a designer crafting at the intersection of design, tech, and culture.

For ULD—an Oslo-based trio blending indie, jazz, folk, and Nordic traditions the visual identity was crafted to reflect the depth and atmosphere of their music. Inspired by the distinct voices of Une (vocals), Lucia (piano), and Dagny (accordion), the design draws from Norwegian nature and poetry, both of which are central to their lyrical and musical landscape. The collaboration also includes stage backdrop design, merchandise, and other visual elements that support ULD’s vision of honest, genre-defying music. ULD has received significant recognition, including the Edvard Prize 2025, awarded for their “exceptionally strong achievements in songwriting and composition” over the past year. They were also honored with the Prøysen Prize for “Fra en annen virkelighet” a musical interpretation of a poem by Gunvor Hofmo that has garnered notable attention.
