Historical context

Boundless had a branding issue. In 2008 they were originally called OpenGeo as an open source project. In 2012, they became a for-profit company. Since 2012, Boundless had an issue dividing themselves from the open source project. It was my job to make sure that all internal and external material had consistent branding and messaging.

Branding

I aligned the executive team on company objective, values, personality, and audience. In close collaboration with Marketing and Leadership, I established design guidelines including: content, voice and tone, illustration, photography, branding, etc.

Personas

Redesign Website

We card-sorted a new navigation based on our customers and behavior. We made sure each user funnel would end with a CTA or gated content. We also used personalized photos and illustrations to understand Boundless’s new message. I worked closely with developers, designers, leadership, and writers.

Email and Landing Pages


I designed modules that were then built into marketo HTML/CSS templates. The modules allowed for the ability to customize future email campaigns. In addition to email templates designed into Marketo, I also designed landing page templates that used modules to be customized depending on the conversion.
Every email was linked to a special landing page that was cookied to collect data. We analysis the email data through Marketo analytic tools.

Collateral

I designed one pagers on a weekly basis for the sales team. These sheets were used at events and when giving pitches to customers. I worked closely with writers and product managers to design the sheets.

Training and Certifications

As a Product Designer, I collaborated closely with Project Managers and the Customer Success team to drive customer satisfaction and optimize the training and certification platform for a B2B audience.

Key achievements include:

  • Expanded the training portfolio, launching over 65 e-Learning modules and 3 instructor-led courses, contributing to a significant revenue increase.
  • Improved customer satisfaction metrics by refining workflows and processes, enhancing the user experience across the platform.
  • Boosted training capacity by onboarding and empowering internal and external teams with the necessary tools and resources for authorized training.
  • Developed comprehensive sales playbooks, demos, user personas, and presentations, which directly led to increased revenue for the training business.
  • Streamlined training delivery by implementing industry best practices, documenting essential workflows, and mentoring trainers, ensuring consistency and efficiency across the board.

I worked with Julie for 2-3 years at AdAction as an Associate Product Designer/Visual Designer. Julie was an amazing director and a creative mentor. She gave me valuable feedback, guidance, and support, always encouraging me to learn and grow. Her focus on collaboration, creativity, and innovation had a big impact on me and truly made me a better designer. Julie is the reason I got into Product Design, and why I’ve been able to succeed in my career. She gives her 100%! Any team would be lucky to have her.
Maria D Product Designer, AdAction
I worked closely with Julie for 3+ years at AdAction while I was Director of SEO. As Design Director, Julie led our UX/UI team with exceptional skill. She combines creative talent with practical execution, consistently delivering innovative, data-driven designs that meet both user needs and business goals. Julie excels at collaboration, working seamlessly with Product and Engineering teams. Her leadership fosters creativity and high performance in her team. I highly recommend Julie for UX/UI design leadership roles. Her skills, user empathy, and team-oriented approach would be invaluable to any organization.
Nick W: Director of SEO
Julie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely talented and her work ethic is second to none. Her ability to gather customer requirements and ideas and distill them into a presentable, compelling media is truly impressive. It would be a privilege to work with Julie again in the future and I hope I have the opportunity to do so.
