Hi, there! 👋
I’m Julia, a Senior UX Designer at Fidelity Investments with 5 years' experience.
I’ve become adept at designing elegant solutions to complex challenges. Reflective and data-driven, I base decisions on research and measure success by impact.
My design philosophy in a nutshell: clarity, consistency, and radical simplicity.

Recognition
“Julia’s ability to combine empathy, curiosity, and product knowledge is extremely valuable in improving the experiences she works on, and has contributed to her success in designing high quality experiences for our customers. On top of all of this, she is a delight to work with and always goes the extra mile!”
– Former manager
“If going above and beyond was in the dictionary, Julia would be the example. She works so hard to deliver the best customer experience possible—from attending accessibility office hours, and working closely with developers, to jumping on impromptu calls with me to go over new content and its impact on design and more. She's played such an important role in the launching of Retirement Decision Guide.”
– Content strategist
“Wanted to take a moment to recognize Julia for her excellent knowledge and skills around User Interface and Experience design. With nothing to go except for a raw half-baked idea and some stats around the hackathon idea, Julia was able to create a prototype in no time. She took it upon herself to design the flow, experience and additional elements that no one in the team was even thinking about. Her skills and knowledge about her domain were amazing. She also played a key role in collating feedback from squad leader during the Hackathon phase while collaborating across geographies. Her can-do attitude was infectious and motivated the team even more. Thanks a lot Julia!”
– Hackathon teammate
“Often when design feedback is presented regarding accessibility, it can be challenging for the designer to hear. When Julia received feedback that an existing design posed challenges for customers using assistive technology, Julia thought outside the box and took personal initiative to come up with several non-standard design patterns to better the experience. This approach is exemplary in what we hope for when providing accessibility feedback, and is what good, inclusive user experience design is all about. Thank you Julia for your commitment to making the Fidelity experience one that is equitable for our customers with disabilities, and in general better for everyone.”

“Julia is a worker who reflects and improves.”
– Former manager
“Julia is a supremely gifted, task-oriented achiever. I experienced this first hand working with her on a challenging project. She took the initiative to set tasks and goals and prompting us to stay the course. Utilizing UX methods, she was able to understand the voluminous amount of data quickly and apply them into our project. Most importantly, she is deeply passionate about the design process to create phenomenal solutions for people. Moreover, her sincerity and enthusiasm as a person inspired me to strive for our goals. She is a true asset and will be in any environment.”
