Julia

I'm able to think laterally and creatively and produce effective design that responds to a clients brief. I'm happiest producing conceptual design and working with people willing to take a risk. I have seven years experience as a graphic designer and have worked for a range of North West Agencies. I'm passionate about music and play drums in 'Champion Lover', one of Manchesters most innovative bands.
