Hi, I’m Julia!
I improve user experiences through user-centered, data-informed, intuitive designs that both simplify complex problems and meet business goals.
Software product design is a team activity, and I do my best work when collaborating with a cross-functional team with diverse perspectives. I have worked on globally distributed teams for the majority of my design career.

Testimonials
Word on the street is I’m great to work with!

“Julia is a rare breed! These days it's not often we have the opportunity to work with someone who is able to show their work from early concept (hand sketches) to complete, well thought out, UX flows. Along with that, Julia is able to explain complex tech with ease. I witnessed it myself. I highly recommend Julia.”

“I worked closely with Julia on several key UI/UX challenges for the products I manage, and could count on her to take on everything from a 'little' project like a tooltip re-design, up to big, undefined, cross-product thought exercises. Julia brings a great energy and enthusiasm for her work, and her team. Would absolutely work on a team with her again if I have the chance.”
