Julia is one of the best people I have had the pleasure of working with. She is a strong Lead with wonderful artistic vision and skill. Julia is the kind of Lead that, even when all of her tasks are done. will stay at the office late and come in on weekends just to make sure that no one on her team has to go through crunch alone. She is a top notch artist, lead, and human.
