Julia is a creative born in Ukraine, raised in Idaho, and currently living and working in Seattle, Washington. She values simple and functional, but visually impactful design. She loves to help people and brands tell a story. Being able to do design and photography for a living still feels too good to be true. 

When she's not shooting or glued to a laptop, she's likely on a brunch date, at an estate sale, or on a road trip with her husband.
