Community Service

Some people enjoy skiing, or playing video games, I enjoy volunteering. I've been taught at an early age to always fight for the underdog, serve your community, and build others up for the great good of the team.

My Role

Volunteer for Out in Tech, Queer America, LGBT Center of Colorado

Business Outcomes

Supporting the LGBT community

User Impacts

Mentorship, Denver pride fest, local and virtual events

Out in Tech

At Out In Tech I coordinate various in-person and virtual events. I am on the Denver leadership team, I manage the UI/UX community within OIT which consists of making sure over 400 members are actively engaged, and I mentor college students through Out In Tech U.

Queer America

Queeramerica.co is a e-commerce site that I built back in 2017. The site is built on Shopify and the print vendor I use is printful. I hold no inventory whatsoever. Between April and Aug (pride season) we post ads on instagram and facebook. We determined our target audience and post shirts that are centric towards them. We gain pretty solid traction every year, enough to make a nice income each pride season.

I've been volunteering every Tuesday evening for the past 3 years. I am a front desk volunteer at the GLBT Center on Colfax. Here, I greet guests, give tours, answer phone calls, and support staff as needed. I also support events in the community such as Denver Pride Fest.

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.
