client testimonial

"After over a decade of scrapping together my own portfolio websites and never feeling fully satisfied, I finally hired a professional, and wow, was it worth it."

- Phoebe Wahl, award-winning illustrator, designer, & author

Hi there, I’m Julie.

For nearly a decade, I worked in branding and marketing for small creative businesses, helping makers and artists grow audiences, launch products, and build beautiful, values-driven brands.

Now I design Squarespace websites for established writers, illustrators, teachers, and multi-hyphenate creatives whose businesses have outgrown their sites. Combining design, brand strategy, and copywriting support, I build sites that do the heavy lifting without the creative burnout, DIY overwhelm, or decision fatigue that often comes with a redesign.

Get to Know Me

Some kind words from my clients. 

  • Illustrator and creative mentor, Anoosha Syed, with brown hair, wearing a red beret, green T-shirt with a graphic, and colorful earrings, holds a small illustrated stick in front of a light background.

    When Julie sent me the first draft of the site, I screamed!!! She is so big-brained and creative and totally understood what I was trying to achieve. I had so many things I wanted to share and Julie came up with the most creative way to display it.

    —Anoosha Syed, Illustrator & Author

  • Carolyn Yoo, artist and writer, smiling and resting her chin on her hand in an indoor setting with books and posters on the wall behind her.

    Working with Julie was INCREDIBLE. I had no idea how much I needed another person to digest all of my ideas into a cohesive look and feel. She was really able to translate how I described my creative work and my purpose into something tangible, weaving in practical business strategy as well.

    —Carolyn Yoo, Artist & Writer

  • Smiling cartoonist, Mimi Pond, with gray hair wearing large, patterned glasses sitting on an orange couch against a textured wall.

    My dreams have come true 1000%! I'm thrilled with it and proud as can be that I finally have a centralized platform for all my work!
