Hi, I'm Julia. I'm from Saint Petersburg, but I live in Lisbon.
I have a background in the pharmaceutical field, but I always liked looking at drug packaging and the illustrations depicted on them more than pharmacy. And 4 years ago I decided to change my career path. My journey in design began with freelancing, through which I created my portfolio. I specialize in illustration, print preparation, simple retouching using tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop. I also use AI platforms such as MidJourney.
💼 Experience Highlights:
Freelance Designer: Worked with various clients to create designs that align with their brand vision and goals.
Photo Retoucher: Can do simple editing and enhance images.
🔎 Looking for Opportunities: Currently open for graphic design or creative roles where I can contribute to impactful projects. I am excited to connect with like-minded people and explore opportunities to collaborate on unique design initiatives.
Projects
- Scentsis a branding project that conveys the essence of incense sticks through the concept of the four elements: fire, water, earth, and air. Each element is represented by a corresponding fragrant plant. I developed the illustrations and designed minimalist, retro-inspired packaging. To bring the concept to life, I used AI-generated mockups to demonstrate how the design would work in real-world contexts.
- Around the worldThis project involved reconstructing an old, lesser-known card game for children, designed to enhance their general knowledge and introduce them to various countries around the world. I created numerous character illustrations with traditional attire and national symbols, as well as backgrounds and flags representing different countries. Additionally, I developed the layout and packaging design for the playing cards, giving the game a cohesive and engaging look.
