Hi! I'm Julian

With over 15 years of experience in graphic and web design, I craft design solutions that help elevate B2B and B2C brands across industries including healthcare, technology, hospitality, finance, retail, nonprofits, and more. I’ve worked in agency, in-house, and freelance roles, each giving me a unique perspective on solving design challenges. You can explore highlights from these roles in my portfolio.

My Creative Process

My design approach merges function with beauty—creating experiences that are not only visually beautiful but also intuitive, strategic, and impactful. Research guides every step of my creative process. I take the time to understand a client’s story, goals, and audience to create work that connects with people and strengthens the brand behind it.

Outside the Studio

I live in Harrisburg, PA with my husband, Paul, our two cats, Charlie and Mushu, and our dog, Olive. When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me with a book, immersed in a game, or planning my next camping trip or travel adventure.

Community involvement is also important to me. I serve as secretary and communications chair on the board of Friends of Midtown, a nonprofit focused on the economic and cultural growth of Midtown Harrisburg. I also sit on the occupational advisory committee at York County School of Technology, where I review curriculum for high school art students and share insight from my experience in the design industry.

What clients have to say

I can't compliment her enough on her professionalism, creative talents and knowledge. She is one of those rare, gifted people who genuinely has her client's best interests at heart, and that is reflected not only in her work but her attitude as well . . . I can't wait to hear the ooh's and aah's when our website is introduced to the public! Thank you so much Julian Nicole Digital Design, you've made my world a better place!

Julian partnered with me on my 2017 re-election to Harrisburg City Council. Her design work helped to really solidify my branding and enable me to get my messaging out in a clear and consistent matter. Her partnership with me was an amazing help in my successful re-election efforts.

Julian is an incredible designer, easy to work with and so talented. She designed my farm logo, worked with me to understand my needs and preferences (favorite color purple!!, style, mood), and produced a beautiful design that I couldn’t be happier with. Highly recommend Julian without hesitation!!!!
