About

Based in the U.S. | Available for remote collaborations worldwide.

Julia Witchard is a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator.

I work across graphic design, information design, and interactive design to translate complex ideas into clear, human-centered communication.

From learning experiences and infographics to visual systems and illustrated storytelling, I build work that is conceptually strong, editorially sharp, and made to perform in the real world.

Clarity with character.

My philosophy

What I've learned is this.

Education

When design supports learning, students don't just improve - they participate.

"I've always struggled with math, but thanks to you, I understand it now." - Former Student

Government

In government, design turns tribal knowledge into compliant, searchable systems.

"Julia turned scattered notes into an interactive SOP manual - complete with hyperlinks, visuals, and infographics." - Client Founder

Corporate

In corporate settings, good design prevents repeat meetings.

"Julia redesigned our operations manuals in a way that made a major difference in efficiency." - Director @ BNY

Life

Design shapes behavior, mood, and outcomes.

"You can't just think your way to a better future - you have to design it." - Burnett & Evans

MY PROCESS

You can usually find me on a soccer field or in a coffee shop sketching between projects. Life’s too short not to design the one you want.

Creative detours

The stuff I make
just because.

Side projects, obsessions, and the things that keep the work interesting between client deliverables.

OpenA few of my favorite things

OpenI have characters
I've been turning dental tools into characters. What started as a one-off illustration turned into names, personalities, and animation experiments. The long-term goal is a series - and hopefully a few household names. Stay tuned!
OpenIn my free time, you'll find me...
On a soccer field. I genuinely plan my week around playing. I play in coed and all-women's leagues, and I've been playing since fourth grade. It's my favorite way to meet people from all over the world.
