Building thoughtful software & experiences that help people feel a little more grounded.
I’m Julia, a computer scientist and artist who loves turning messy ideas into clean, gentle interfaces—like Nightly, a nightly inventory iOS app, and DingDuff, an AI assistant for lawyers.
About Julia
I’m Julia, a software engineer and designer who enjoys creating products that feel clear, supportive, and thoughtfully crafted. I studied Computer Science with a minor in Graphic Design at Texas A&M University, which shaped the way I balance strong engineering foundations with calm, readable interfaces.
My work often centers on tools that help people make sense of their day-to-day lives or navigate complex information. Nightly began as a simple way to reflect and build healthier habits, while DingDuff grew from exploring how AI can organize dense legal text into something far more approachable.
I like designing software that reduces friction—whether that’s through clear data structures, smooth iOS interactions, or small visual details that make an experience feel gentle rather than overwhelming. I believe good tools should not only work well, but make people feel more grounded when they use them.
Outside of development, I draw and paint, and that creative background influences how I think about composition, hierarchy, and atmosphere in digital spaces. My goal across all my work is simple: build things that bring clarity, calm, and a sense of intention to whoever’s using them.
