Available to hire
Hi, I’m Julia Walford, a creative and hands-on professional blending culinary skills with graphic design and content creation. I’ve thrived in fast-paced kitchens and hospitality environments, from Tim Hortons to Cambridge Mill, juggling pastry arts, kitchen management, and customer service with a can-do attitude.
Off the line, I love turning ideas into visuals and stories—designing thumbnails, editing videos, managing social media, and coordinating events. I’m always learning and eager to bring energy, creativity, and reliable teamwork to your team.
