Hi, I'm Julia, a Senior Designer with 9 years of experience in the industry. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects, from print to digital. I've collaborated with startups as well as global brands like Starbucks, Disney, BP, consistently aligning design strategies with business goals.

My experience spans visual brand strategy, market research, and team leadership. I possess strong expertise in graphic and print design, typography, and managing design processes.
Driven by the motto "work hard, stay true", my goal is to further my career in design by partnering with innovative companies that create a positive impact. I’m passionate about building meaningful client relationships and delivering business results through effective product management strategies. I care about the details — and the people behind the work.

And a lot more. Honestly, I don't have time to pack everything. I'd rather show and tell.
