		<h2>Hi, I'm Julia.</h2>
		<p>I believe technology can do great things—enabling individuals to create and communicate, and making organizations smarter and more efficient. But for technology to achieve its potential, it to be informed by the way its users work and think. I work as a researcher, gathering understanding about organizations and individuals, and as a designer, creating useful and usable technology. I have significant experience managing projects, conducting user research, creating low and high fidelity prototypes for mobile, web, and embedded technologies, designing apps, documents, and information visualizations, and programming for the web.</p>
		<p>I like working with smart, motivated people on meaningful projects. I'm also looking for a full-time opportunity after graduation, so <a id="nospammail" href="mailto:juliat@cmu.edu">let me know </a> if you'd like to talk to me more about one.<noscript>Sorry, you need Javascript on to see my email.</noscript> </p>

		<!--<p>I love good books, good tea (or coffee), good conversations, dogs, horses, and being outside. In my free time, I read, ice skate, and swim.</p>-->
