Hello, 您好!
I am a product designer and a graduate from Hunter College.
I am a product designer based in New York City. In my most recent role, I work as a product designer for a comapany called JobTarget. I have the honor of overlooking an entire jobseeker platform for both web and mobile. I have the honor of designing the entire user experience starting from a low fidelity to a high fidelity prototype! Before that, I was working for one of Shanghai's SHIAF award winning digital marketing companies ASAP+/C+. In this role, I helped them with their UX/UI of WeChat mini programs, as well as redesigning their entire website which increased user engagement by 200%.
Through my experience, I discovered that I am most fulfilled collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop visually appealing and intuitive products that increase satisfaction and user engagement. My dedication, attention to detail and problem solving skills have allowed me to contribute to the community in meaningful and productive ways.
I am always open to hearing new and exicitng opportunies!
Love at First Sketch
Growing up I have always had art as a huge influence in my life thanks to my mother. She grew up teaching photography as a part of her life, and so therefore I would say art has always been one of my favorite subjects at school. Since I was a young girl, I was always a lover of technology, so in college, I thought I wanted to go for something like computer science. I quickly realized that computer science was not the route I wanted to take because of all the math required. I started to feel hopeless in figuring out what I wanted to do in life. Little did I know, Hunter College offered web design and graphic media courses under the New Media major track. Finally, I found something that satiated both my love for art and technology!
Growing up I have always had art as a huge influence in my life thanks to my mother. She grew up teaching photography for a time in her life therefore I would say art has always been one of my favorite subjects at school. At an early age, I was always interested in technology, so in college, I thought I wanted to major in computer science. I quickly realized that computer science was not the route I wanted to take. I started to feel hopeless in figuring out what I wanted to do in life. After learning that Hunter College offered web design and graphic media courses under the New Media major track, I finally found a major that satiated both my love for art and technology!
Fast forward a few years, I landed the first internship related to my major, at a company called Radiate. For those who do not know this wonderful application, Radiate connects people who attend music festivals together! While working for this company, I was introduced to UX/UI design and IMMEDIATELY fell in love!
I loved everything about the design process! Starting with user research, all the way to the hand off stage everything about it sparked my interest! I remember the first time using Sketch to redesign and edit certain mobile screens and the excitement that flooded my body. I was thrilled that I discovered a career that I was truly passionate about!
In a way, I have radiate as a company to thank for helping me realize my true passion. Since then, I have been working for numerous companies as their lead UX/UI designer in order to satisfy my desire for creativity and technology. I strive to continue to enhance my skills on a daily basis, and will continue to search for exciting opportunities!
Product Designer Superpowers
My expertise lies in user research, creating low to high fidelity wireframes, rapid prototyping, interaction design, user personas, storyboarding and usability testing. However, I'm always working to improve the full spectrum of my UX/UI Design skillset! #NeverStopLearning
In my free time I love to...
Travel to new countries, explore the best spots for food and discovering new artists! I also love engaging in most sports including, but not limited to, Handball, Badminton, Ping-Pong and Snowboarding!
I also recently started to pick up the violin again, which has been pretty fun! On nice days, you can catch me skateboarding around the city, or at the beach!
Feel free to connect with me :)

"Julianna is reliable, goal-oriented, and always timely. In a short amount of time, Julianna was able to learn a new skill (React Native) to help speed the project by creating reusable components, alleviating my role as the lead developer to assist the rest of the team in a time we had no project manager. She stepped up to the plate to help the team complete our sprints on time when we needed her."
