About Me

"Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand." - Peter Griffin
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." -Herm Albright
"I'm sorry 'bout the attitude I need to give when I'm with you. But no one else will take this shit from me." -Long Day, Matchbox 20
Here's a little about me... My name's Julie but my dad sometimes calls me "JuJu Bee."
I'm a Columbia College graduate. I'm a graphic designer and I work at a group called Akimbo that is, and I quote, relentlessly designing solutions that stimulate emotional experiences. End quote. I love my job!! Check us out at akimbogroup.com. Some of our recent work that you can see on the shelves: Rice-A-Roni and Pasta-Roni redesign and Sauza Hornitos Tequila redesign to name a couple.
A few other things that I love are shopping, shoes, candy, watching Bridezillas, CSI, and horror movies.
A couple things that I hate are stupid drivers and four way stops (separately and in combination), and vegetables.
I'm to the point and I'll tell you how it is. You'll always know where you stand with me, because I'm gonna tell you! I speak my mind and don't hold back. So if you aren't ready for the answer, don't ask the question. I am who I am. Take me or leave me. I'm not going to change for you and you shouldn't expect me to. I have a few close friends over lots of acquaintances and I like it that way. Although I can be a little harsh, I like to think that I have a big heart. Sometimes I forgive to easily.
