Available to hire
Hi, I’m Julie Gillis, a Brooklyn-based graphic designer who thrives on building cohesive brand identities and campaigns. I enjoy collaborating with teams to design social media assets, catalogs, logos, and exhibitions using thoughtful typography, color, and layout. My work emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and storytelling across both digital and print media.
I am continually expanding my practice through collaborations with student-run organizations and nonprofits, and I love turning concepts into polished, accessible design. When I’m not designing, I enjoy sketching illustrations, photographing content for social media campaigns, and exploring typography and color theory.
