Thank YOU! to Julia who was able to capture body and soul of the day in a way makes me to want to frame every single doodle.

— Eva Marquez, Executive Director – Marketing

I invest in Julia’s visual recording for important workshops not just for a great deliverable, but mostly because her works drives engagement - she brings an element of creativity and real-time intrigue as participants watch their ideas come to life on her boards.

Julia was a fantastic addition to our conference. She took complex information and distilled it into graphic notes that enhanced learning, provided beautiful visuals, and added an element of fun to the day. Her work played perfectly to our social media strategy of creating Instagram-worthy content to help fulfill our nonprofit's educational mission.

Inviting Julia ... represented a new strategy to encourage faculty and staff to think creatively about emerging opportunities on our campus. As the attendees worked on their new ideas through discussion and taking notes, Julia provided a visual representation of their ideas. This alternative mode to capture ideas supported those attendees who are more visual than verbal learners, and it also helped all attendees to see how their proposals might be interested by others. The creation of a visual record of the workshop is also an important way to document what the attendees did. We can use the visual notes throughout the summer as the attendees progress with their projects, and we can use them when school starts again to demonstrate these ideas and even recruit others to work on these projects. In this way, the visual notes serve to encourage buy in for new initiatives on our campus.

ROSE-HULMAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

I knew that your presence would make all the difference in the world and it did. Your work activates the imagination and inspires all to unleash their creativity! Your gifts are like alchemy for the brain, heart - and yes guts too :-) - You totally adapted, get thrown in to content you never heard and did it masterfully and joined in authentically with the group.

— Ellen Wingard, Transformational leadership consulting for social impact

Julia created an amazingly beautiful, warm, creative, thoughtful graphic for a project I worked on. We used the graphic for workshop material and Julia made a poster which served as the backdrop for the entire day. Everyone appreciated the artistry of the graphic but more than that it became a reference point for collaboration and cross sector communication. The end result is that a workshop about collaboration now has a brand that reflects the wonderful character, assets and collaborative spirit of the region.

The biggest benefit from working with Julia was having someone with branding/marketing expertise provide me a stepwise framework for thinking through how I want to portray my consulting persona. The second biggest benefit in working with Julia was the element of trust, both in that I trusted Julia to do high quality work and provide me with the best possible guidance, and in that I trusted her enough to be open and honest throughout the process without worrying that I would be “judged” for what I shared. I learned a ton, and have a solid roadmap for myself as I dig into revising my website.

Julia is a responsive, thoughtful, a clear communicator, and an excellent listener. I felt heard, respected, and like she cared about my outcomes as much as I did.

— Julie O'Day, Owner, O'Day Studios

We first worked with Julia on a single infographic for a presentation in 2012, but that experience was so positive that we have continued going back to her for bigger and bigger projects. All of the work she has done for us is clean, professional, seamlessly integrated into our existing graphic identity, and most of all beautiful. Julia is also an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend her enough!

— Alison Wade, Chief Administrator, Association of Art Museum Directors
