01. About Me

Hello! My name is Julian and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2014 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes — turns out hacking together HTML & CSS taught me a lot about architecture!

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at an advertising agency, a start-up, a huge corporation, and a student-led design studio. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients.
