Hi, I'm Julia.
About
I'm an enthusiastic and self-motivated creative with a passion for improving the lives of others through design. With a background in UI/UX design, graphic design, brand strategy, animation, coding, and more, I've honed a strong foundation - but I'm always on the hunt to learn more!
