NOOR was founded on the idea that personal capacity begins at home. We set out to care for the caretakers—we wanted to cultivate for them more grace, tenderness, and intentionality. Here, everyday routines are transformed into powerful practices, moments of peace and beauty that enrich life.

From Our Founder
When I envisioned NOOR, I dreamed of creating more than a brand—I wanted to build a community rooted in purpose, beauty, and in the pursuit of wellness. Inspired by the resilience of women and the transformative power of intentional living, NOOR represents a balance between elevated comfort and a deep commitment to sustainability and ethics. I dreamed of my daughter, Hana. I dreamed of the future.
As a mother, entrepreneur, and social designer, I’ve seen how the smallest moments of care can create the biggest impact. Whether it’s the drape of thoughtfully selected fabrics or the joy of supporting living wages in America, every detail of NOOR is designed to celebrate connection, inspire self-reflection, and remind us of the light we all carry.
NOOR translated from Arabic means the light, and at the heart of NOOR is a belief in taking better care—better care of ourselves, of each other, and of the planet. Together, we are redefining what it means to live with intention and grace. Thank you for being part of this journey to protect the common good.
With love and light,
Kimberly
Founder, NOOR by Grant Blvd
Each NOOR piece is crafted with precision, skill, and the utmost respect for our planet. From the softness of sustainably produced fabrics to the meticulous artistry of our sewists—most of whom are women overcoming systemic challenges—we pour care into our team and every detail. Through fair wages and skill-building, NOOR helps create pathways to new opportunities, making each piece a symbol of strength and resilience.
Mothers and women, often the unsung pillars of families, face incredible challenges in overcoming barriers to education, employment, and wellness.
