Bio
Louise McCulloch
Julia is an excellent designer and has a thoughtful, thorough, and empathetic approach to solving tricky design problems. She is knowledgeable on UX tools, processes, and best practices and knows how to apply and adapt them to the real world. Julia is an amazing communicator and has really strong presentation skills. She was able to dive right into a number of projects and within her first few months was planning and facilitating user research, leading brainstorming sessions with the team, and presenting her designs to key stakeholders. Julia is an absolute joy to work with, and I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again!

Julia is truly exceptional. During my time with her at Auvenir, I was consistently impressed with her ability to adapt design processes to fast-paced agile product development while ensuring user needs drive the solutions delivered. As a designer, she demonstrates a rare synthesis of attention to detail and a keen understanding of systems thinking. She is equally adept at enhancing the usability of a granular UI interaction as she is at improving the logic and experience of complex user flows. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and I hope to work with her again in the future!
