Hi, I'm Julie!

I recently graduated from Wellesley College (c/o ‘23) with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. I’m a Product Designer that strives to creates positive, intuitive, and delightful experiences for people! I’m particularly interested in designing for B2C companies, as I love working on consumer projects that people can use and interact with daily and/or casually.

I found my dream occupation after I took a Human-Computer Interaction class the summer of my sophomore year. I entered that class as a computer science major and walked away as a designer with big ideas, visions, and aspirations.

How I go about bridging design and code

Figma, Goodnotes

1. Ideate & Design

I start with sketches and then move to Figma to bring my vision to life. I'll iterate on designs until I feel like I have a solid MVP for development.

Figma Example

2. Inspect

After designing, I use the Figma “Inspect” tool and extract key attributes like color, size, shadow, etc.

Inspect Tool

visual studio code, atom

3. Code/Iterate Away

While Figma’s inspect tool is great, it isn’t perfect. I visualize the layout of my design, translate everything into code, and add some motion-design-magic ✨

I decided to add a switch to make the website more interactive, fun, and flexible! Dark mode automatically turns on after 6pm.
