Meet the Team
Julia White
Senior Art Director
Spend a moment with Julia, and two things will become immediately clear:
She’s as cool as a cucumber, and her creative cup overfloweth.
With nearly a decade of creative evolution at JayRay, Julia has become the kind of art director whose work — and leadership — resonates long after the project ends.
Shaping everything from motion graphics to full-fledged rebrands, Julia develops high-impact creative concepts and art direction across an ecosystem of collaborators, including web developers, photographers and your in-house marketing team. The through line? Julia’s clarity of vision (plus the confidence to pull it off).
With a background in UX design, Julia approaches every project with the mind of a strategist and the eye of an artist. Whether she’s crafting brand identities, illustrating by hand or fine-tuning a layout until it’s just so, Julia makes it look easy to translate complex ideas into visuals that resonate on an intuitive level.
Still, her insatiable curiosity keeps her craft continually transforming.
Her creative process is equal parts digital and tactile, where laptop and stylus meet pencil and notebook. To that end, she’s infamous around the agency for her offbeat balance: cold brew and a heated blanket to start the day, curating color palettes to true crime podcasts in the background and karaoke nights to shake off the week.
