I'm Julia.
Hey. I'm Julia Pepler, a graphic designer based out of Nelson, British Columbia. I've been a design nerd since I was 14. Yep, my high school yearbook quote was literally, "Sometimes I get emotional over fonts."
I took that passion and earned my Bachelors of Design, majoring in Communication Design at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in May 2018.
What I'm good at.
With my advanced design skills and marketing know-how I've created the branding and website for Halifax's first zero-waste store, worked in-house at an environmental non-profit, ran an experimental magazine connecting artists around the world, and built an extensive website for a global embodiment movement.
I currently work as a Lead Project Manager and Graphic Designer for Sore Thumb Inc.
