About Me
A-Z ⁎ About Me
Hi, I’m Julianna— (or sometimes better known as, Bean, Punk, JuJu, Jules, Juli, Hoolee, and other never-ending nicknames my family & friends have given me!!)
I believe design is more than what we see—it’s what we feel. It’s the quiet rhythm between form and function, the spark of contrast, the subtle way a story unfolds without needing to speak. That creative instinct has been with me since childhood—like the day I used red nail polish to decorate my parents’ brand-new white leather couch. (An early lesson in bold choices... and consequences.)
I was raised in Davison, Michigan, where resilience wasn’t just encouraged—it was necessary. In high school, I balanced a co-op job at the district copy center with evening shifts at Little Caesars, folding boxes and making pizzas while dreaming up color palettes in my head. That’s where I first realized design wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about storytelling, connection, and meaning.
I carried that passion to Oakland University, where I earned my BA in Graphic Design in 2024. My education shaped more than my skillset—it taught me to think deeply, stay curious, and use creativity as a tool for impact.
Today, I’m a Digital Media Specialist at an automotive dealership in Flint, Michigan. I get to bring stories to life through strategy, design, and content—building campaigns and creating experiences that connect with real people. Along the way, I’ve learned to value professionalism, originality, and consistency—in my work, and in how I show up for others.
At the core of everything I do is a belief in self-expression. Whether it’s tattoos, hairstyles, bold patterns, or loud nail colors, I believe in celebrating what makes us different. I value creating space for people to be unapologetically themselves—and that belief fuels the work I do every day.
I’ve been fortunate to walk this path with the unwavering support of my high school sweetheart—my constant through every challenge and turning point. His belief in me has helped me stay grounded and focused, even when the road ahead wasn’t always clear.
This portfolio is more than a showcase—it’s a reflection of my journey, my values, and my creative heart. I’m still learning, still growing, and still creating with intention. I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for being part of it.
