Julie Hopkins

Hello. I am Julie Hopkins, a creative professional based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am an honours graduate in Graphic Design from George Brown College with a solid foundation in design principles, layout and typography. I bring years of knowledge and successful outcomes in design, web development and project management.

My design philosophy and practice is based on balancing functionality with creativity to achieve visually appealing and emotionally compelling experiences. I take a collaborative and accountable approach to working with clients and colleagues.

Over the last 25 years, I have been fortunate to have worked for a diverse range of clients and employers, from small businesses to larger institutions and universities. I have extensive experience designing, developing and maintaining content-rich, user-centred, informational and interactive digital experiences.

I launched my career in a small and growing web studio designing in-house branding components and client web properties. After gaining experience in the emerging field of web design and development, I had the opportunity to work abroad for a national newspaper building web features and interactive infographics. Building on this experience, I relocated to the east coast of Canada and found employment as a regional web developer in radio and television broadcasting and news.

After several years, I shifted into the field of health research and education, and worked with and for universities and research centres. In these roles I designed and produced print and branding materials, informational graphics, research videos, and web properties. I’m grateful to have worked and to work in fields that have contributed to lasting and positive impacts on communities.

In my “spare time”, I enjoy exploring other modes of creativity, primarily composing still and video collage art. I also enjoy gardening, crafting, sewing and printmaking.
