About

I am a Berlin-based Product Experience Designer and former founder of Artconnect.com, Berlin's largest online creative community with 35k monthly active users. In 2020, I sold my venture and embraced my true passion: Product Experience Design and Front-end Development.

Currently, I am a Senior Experience Designer at Mister Spex, enhancing the lens configuration user experience.

With a background in Fine Arts and over 10 years of experience in product design, communications strategy, and management, I bring a balanced blend of structure and creativity to diverse teams. Founding a business has given me unique insights into complex projects and the factors influencing their success. It has also taught me to be resourceful and innovative in finding customer-centric solutions. My technical education provides me with a deep understanding of building user-friendly and developer-friendly websites.

In my free time, you will find me chatting with my friends, creating new recipes, fermenting food, growing my plants, or dancing to new and old music (while cooking too!). I ride my bike everywhere and don't want to own a car. I love playing with my kids and answering their questions about the world. I read anything Ican get my hands on related to health, psychology, company culture, technology, business, and socio-political issues… or just anything that catches my attention.

What others say about me

Super project, excellent work! On-time and above scope! 👍
Júlia very quickly and independently got to grips with the brand, the target audience and the product. Besides her skills in UX/UI design - already praised by others here - I would also like to highlight her linguistic sensitivity. She not only understands many languages, but also knows how to implement language for good UX. We would use Júlia's support and expertise again anytime - highly recommended!

Alexander Ständert

Product Owner at Mister Spex

I had the pleasure to tutor Júlia when she was a UX Design student at CareerFoundry. I was immediately impressed by her eagerness to learn, her rigorous dedication to quality and her sharp eye for details. From her previous digital ventures she gained a practical understanding for the business requirements a product has to fulfill and incorporated that into her designs. On top of showing high initiative, she was an absolute joy to work with, radiating positivity and warmth. This energy clearly shines through in her designs, too. In my humble opinion, any product team will be lucky to have her as a designer and colleague

Product Designer and Tutor at CareerFoundry

Julia is a very talented and creative product manager. I had the chance to work closely with her on Artconnect, and I was very impressed not only at her managerial skills but at how well she understands how to create a great UX. Her vision and work on creating an online platform for creatives and artists will have a lasting positive impact on the entire artistic scene. She is a very efficient manager, a great leader and a fun person to work with.

Julia has been ahead of times and innovator with her Artconnect platform, the go-to arts website in Berlin. It’s through her company that we first connected via a contemporary art partnership and then furthering collaborations via kulturspace, my creative agency. Julia saw the need way before anyone else and its for that reason shes been an innovator in connecting the creativity community in Berlin, no easy feat! She is a welcomed partner and I’m proud to run in the same local crew.
