About Me
As the Director of Special Projects at Tulane Hillel, Julia applies her training in the design thinking methodology to discover and address the most pressing needs of students on campus. She develops students’ leadership and designs programs, such as the Portrait Identity Project (PIP), to build inclusive communities with an articulated purpose and human-centered approach.
Julia graduated in May 2019, from The Ohio State University with Distinction and Honors in the Arts and a B.F.A in Photography.
Photography and story telling are the chosen mediums because we live in a media-consuming world, one in which photographs are nearly a universal language and media has nearly replaced language. The project creates content that evokes empathy, shares thought provoking stories, and draws attention to the power of an image to shape our thoughts; thus, encouraging viewers to question their personal identity.
