I'm Julia Mart

I am a emerging artist based in Los Angeles, California. I began my professional path as a designer working in advertising, merchandise, and landing pages. As my career progressed, I started working for international companies as a User Experience Designer, focusing on complex digital portals. I was responsible for building and maintaining design systems and, in my most recent project, led accessibility initiatives while serving as the head of a design system.

Although this work was valuable and technically challenging, it gradually took me away from the creative core of art and design. Seeking a more expressive and hands-on practice, I decided to leave my position and pursue formal studies in Graphic Design in California.

Today, art is my primary focus and passion. I am happy to share my work here and hope you enjoy exploring it.
