About me

Howdy! I'm Julian, a product designer based in Melbourne, Australia but I grew up in Southern California. My work sits at the intersection of design, technology, and strategy, and I'm constantly collaborating to craft wonderful experiences for complex problems. I'm currently working at Chargefox, where we're tackling challenges in transportation that society is encountering for the first time.

In additon to being a designer, I love diving into the code and understanding how things work. This led me to complete a full-stack web development bootcamp at Le Wagon, then intern as a front-end developer at Luminary, an award winning, Melbourne-based digital agency.

In my spare time I'm digging through record crates, DJing, producing music, playing video games, or spending quality time with my cat and dog.

What drives my design process

My design values are at the core of how I approach every project. They reflect what I prioritise in my work and how I collaborate with others to create impactful solutions. These principles guide my decisions and ensure I deliver meaningful experiences for users and businesses alike.

Collaborative

Design is a team sport. I prioritise clear communication, constructive critique, and shared ownership to deliver solutions that work for everyone.

Customer focused

Design should solve real problems. I stay connected to the needs of businesses, governments, and consumers, focusing on outcomes that make their lives easier and their goals achievable.

Creative

I experiment, question, and explore. Whether coding a new feature, reimagining a dashboard, or producing music, I bring creativity and fresh ideas to everything I do.

Inclusive

Design for everyone, by everyone. I champion inclusive practices and strive to create accessible experiences that push boundaries and elevate ideas.

Fun

I bring energy and optimism to my work, making the design process enjoyable for everyone involved. I believe great results come from a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and celebration.

Scalable

I focus on creating solutions that grow with the business. Whether it’s design systems or technical features, I ensure everything I build is flexible, scalable, and future-ready.
