Hello, my name is Julia!
I’m a graphic designer working with branding, visual identity,
typography, and book design.
I design visual identities and printed materials for brands, publishers and creative projects. My work consists of various tasks — from logotypes, type systems and brand guidelines to editorial layouts and fonts.
I find inspiration in art and nature, and my creative process begins with thorough research and a carefully crafted concept. I love turning a simple idea into visual image that embodies the spirit of each project and conveys emotions.
I can help you refine your idea and offer a creative and effective solution. I can always come up with more than one visual concept for your design. I’m eager to learn and grow professionally and I’m always open to new ideas and opportunities.
