My story starts in the year of 1991, in the booming city of Indianapolis, IN. After a happy childhood full of art camps and beanie babies, we ended up settling in the swampy state of Florida, where I have stayed ever since.
My interest in art flourished while studying at Florida State University, where I received a bachelors in studio art.
After curtailing the many “useless degree” remarks from frenemies, I ended up putting my creative talents to use in the tech world and currently work as a Digital Content Specialist for a software company.
When I’m not fully immersed in video production and creating technical tutorials, I spend my day wrangling my twin 4-year-old daughters with the help of my cyber security-pro husband.
In my spare time I enjoy painting and creating jewelry. I’m also a nerd for stationary/planning supplies – anything to keep my mind organized and my hands busy.
I’m looking forward to this class! I’m excited to create digital projects outside of my typical workday. I feel like I’m creating digital content within my “comfort zone” at work and I’m looking forward to pushing myself creatively this semester.
Hi Julia,
I could relate to your post as someone else who had gained a collection of “useless” degree comments. I enjoyed your title, and I think you had good use of personal detail to give flavor to your post. What kinds of video production do you do? I used to do freelance video editing, mostly for birthdays and the like, but I did do some creative projects back when I had more free time on my hands.
Good evening, Julia. My name is LaSandra. Your blog post, “Are You There Class? It’s Me, Julia.” is neat! I also make jewelry. Lately, I’ve been stuck on making dream catchers if I’m not sewing regalia. I’m a creator/crafter/artsy person as well. I shuffle mediums depending on my mood. After checking out your Etsy page, it seems like we have very similar tastes. I am also a mother, however, my boys are 5 years apart. Twins seem like a lot of fun! I really enjoyed reading your post and your family portrait is very well done. It is a pleasure meeting you.
