Hello! I’m Julie. I love solving problems.
An INTP with Restorative strengths, creative problem-solving is core to my personality. I pride myself in doing so by being highly adaptable and able to turn loads of data into a story.
As a designer, I believe nothing is precious, and an experience always has room to evolve. The best way to do that is to work with a diverse group of people and skill sets.
Outside of design, I love everything food and drink. I’m always looking for a new recipe to try or chasing the best buffalo wings in the city. Regionally roasted coffees and local craft beers fill the cracks in between.
“Julie is a trusted member of every team she joins. She flexes well between divergent brainstorming to highly detailed production. She keeps her skills up to date, is highly curious, takes feedback well and possesses a learner’s mindset.”

“She just gets it. She's all the things, without the ego. Her ideas are brilliant, from the highest level down to execution. She's a great thinker, but a down-to-earth team member–and that's what makes her such a naturally magnetic leader.”
