A little more about me

While in college studying technical writing, I took a course in usability testing and fell in love with making things easy to use for people. I changed my major as best I could to fit learning about user experience, although UX was not even a term back then. 

I like to organize things. My closet is organized by type of clothing, then by color. A little much? Well, maybe... but everything is so much easier to find this way! I volunteer my time to organize events and websites. And I get (maybe too much?) satisfaction from organizing transaction flows, navigation, and content.

I live in Minneapolis with my husband and daughter. I love hiking, biking, cooking, making jewelry, and being out in nature. 

You can also find me on LinkedIn.

 

Recommendations

Julie is a joy to work with. She is thoughtful and methodical in her approach and takes care to think through decisions before acting. She has a very pleasant demeanor and gets along with everyone well. She is also a great writer/editor. I hope to be able to work with her again!

Julie took me under her wing when I began working at Clockwork as a User Experience Architect. She is a pleasure to work with, and Iā€™m fortunate to have learned from one of the best. She is skilled at using a variety of user research methods (user and stakeholder interviews, affinity diagramming, contextual inquiry, and so on). Julie has years of experience translating technical requirements into clear and complete ux documentation. She helped blaze a trail at Clockwork, and any interactive project Julie works on will undoubtedly benefit greatly from her experience and contributions.
