About Me.

Hello, I’m Julia. One could say that I've taken a winding path to web design and branding, with a career spanning landscape design and permaculture, social work and public health policy, and small business management. After more than a decade supporting businesses from the inside, and working closely with web designers as a client, I decided to learn web design myself.

I built my first site for a skincare line I was managing at the time and quickly discovered that I loved the intersection of strategy, storytelling, technology, and beauty that goes into creating an effective website. From there, I set out to partner with creatives, therapists, chefs, and other purveyors of interesting crafts and services, helping them hone their message and bring it to life. I've been supporting small businesses with their web presence for almost a decade now.

Clear, genuine work is what I hope to deliver, and what we will create together.

I’m also a mom of twins, a gardener, cookbook and cat lover, yoga practitioner, and painter. I love working with all types of clients. Diving into your unique world for a time is part of what makes this work so thrilling to me. While I enjoy collaborating with businesses of all kinds, I'm especially well-suited to supporting healing practitioners, creatives, and makers who want an honest reflection their work and values.
