Hi, I'm Julia
As a UX designer turned software engineer, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to the digital landscape. Crafting narratives and experiences is my bread and butter, and with software engineering skills and passion for seamless user experiences, I bridge the gap between code and creative storytelling — my goal is to create meaningful digital interactions.

Kind words from wonderful people
- "On any team she’s on, Julia is a critical contributor towards achieving shared goals."
-
Julia has been an incredible partner. She develops deep understandings of all products she works on and is viewed as a thought leader by her peers. It’s worth highlighting that she focuses not only on short term content design and strategy for a specific project, but is constantly thinking at the same time about long-term impact and overall product ecosystems.
— Yuliya Kaleda, Engineering Manager, Meta
- "I'd be remiss if I didn't mention what a joy it is to work with Julia."
-
When your work is as much about the job as it is the people, you want someone like her on your team. Julia is as smart and capable as she is a genuinely lovely, kind, fun, and interesting person. I give her my highest recommendation — anyone would be lucky to have her.
— Avani Bhatt, Associate General Counsel, Meta
- "She's a great leader who takes initiative and always asks her cross-functional stakeholders for their opinion, incorporating their feedback into her work."
-
I worked with Julia at Meta on a number of ads monetization products and she is by far one of the best Content Designers to work with. She is knowledgeable about the space and brings a thoughtful perspective into her work that makes her a joy to partner with.
— Sonya Taylor, Partner Product Marketing Manager, Meta
