Hi, I'm Julia, a designer and business owner with a passion for simplicity in design. My journey in the creative industry began with a strong foundation in brand strategy, which has always held a special place in my heart. Over the years, I've fallen in love with the world of UX and UI design, finding it to be the perfect blend of strategy and creativity.
In 2019, my partner and I took a leap of faith and founded The Brite Studio, a design agency that collaborates with clients from all corners of the globe. As a founder, I've embraced a variety of roles, honing my skills in project management and client relations.
What truly drives me is my love for people and my curiosity about what makes them tick. I believe that understanding human behavior is key to creating designs that not only look beautiful but also resonate with users on a deeper level.

African Bush Camps
Full-time
Lead Graphic Designer
Jan 2018 - March 2022
Nature has always been a passion of mine, and I was incredibly fortunate to work with African Bush Camps, a beloved South African safari brand with camps in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. During my time there, I took on the significant responsibility of being the custodian of the brand's visual identity. I created a wide range of marketing materials, including newsletters, flyers, menus, and billboards. However, my most impressive accomplishment was translating their unique aesthetic into a cohesive marketing website, building their look and feel from the ground up.
