Hello, I'm Julia.

Melbourne-based Product Designer with 10+ years of experience designing complex SaaS platforms across B2B, D2C and enterprise environments. I specialise in multi-role web and mobile systems, owning end-to-end product design from early problem definition through to high-fidelity delivery and implementation. With a background in front-end development, I collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ensure solutions are scalable, technically feasible and built to a high standard. I bring an execution-focused approach to modernising legacy systems, establishing design foundations and delivering high-impact product improvements, while providing design direction and mentoring designers to uphold quality and consistency across products. When I'm not immersed in design work, you'll find me gaming or out dancing with friends. I also love sketching, getting lost in a good book, diving into captivating documentaries, and marvelling at the mysteries of space.
