I'm Julie.
I’m so glad you’re here. I started Muse Design in 2007 because I love helping people turn an idea into something they can see, hold and be proud of. Nearly twenty years on, I still work the same way: one-on-one. You deal with me directly, from our first conversation to launch day and long after.
I believe your brand is more than a logo. It’s your story, your personality and the experience you give people. When those line up, you stop second-guessing and start growing with confidence. I also spent more than a decade in municipal communications, so I can design your brand and your website, then write the campaign that goes with them.
HOW I WORK
Muse. Make. Maintain.
A collaborative process, not a reveal.
MUSE
I learn your business before I open a design file. You get a written plan we both work from.
MAKE
Brand, site and print are designed as one system, then built, proofed and handed over.
MAINTAIN
I stay on to look after it. This is the part most studios hand off.
WHY MUSE?
In Greek myth the nine Muses never made the work themselves. They inspired the people who did. That is how I see my job: your business is the story, and I help it find its form.
“She took my brand story and the ideas I had in mind and brought them to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined on my own.”
“The design is gorgeous, the user experience is seamless, and the entire build is fully optimized for searchability.”
