JULIA PODEST

AKA JUJ

JULIA JULIA

VC taught me that you actually don’t need sleep to function and that coffee is a girl’s best friend. Correction, coffee and pizza... couldn’t have survived college without that iconic duo. They have really supported me throughout my creative process. I often find myself experimenting with layers of information to create depth, bold color palettes, and abstract textural elements. I love creating pieces that appeal to your sense of touch and have the ability to evoke feelings of familiarity, discomfort, or joy. I am a true experimenter and a firm believer in happy accidents.

OVERCOMING THE STIGMA

Female college students often experience a heightened sense of anxiety. Many times, this demographic struggles with obstacles of body issues and self-esteem. I believe that raising awareness and spreading knowledge about this topic can have the power to chip away at the stigma.

SWEET BALLISTIC

Sweet Ballistic is a band that brings hardcore punk rock to a new level with their aggressive and chaotic music style.

GOOD+PLENTY

We all have those days where we need a little pick-me-up to take the edge off. Good and Plenty is rebranded to do just that; the pill-shaped candies appeal to a younger audience within its euphoric user experience. Good Oasis, the brand’s own music and arts festival, celebrates its licorice bliss. In collaboration with Rachel Scheetz.
