Julie Ruffin DeWalt

Julie Ruffin DeWalt

Creative direction, design, and marketing strategy with a focus on elevated and tactile brand experiences.

A multidisciplinary brand strategist and designer with a broad range of experience across agency, corporate, in-house and boutique businesses, Julie is equally adept at executing design concepts and implementing operational systems. Ideal projects include thoughtfully developed brand systems paired with high standards for aesthetic execution with direct business impact. These projects often develop into an ongoing relationship due to the subsequent depth of foundational understanding and strategic planning that arises during the branding process. The best work involves deep levels of collaboration across a project team with a vested interest in the cohesive vision for marketing plans with a multitude of applications and mediums.

Currently

Open to limited opportunities via Studio DeWalt: the design practice shared with husband and artistic partner Evan DeWalt. Together we work with cultural institutions, real estate development and architectural firms, consumer and athletic goods, and technology start-ups to create thoughtful brand narratives, launch early-stage ideas, and march established brands forward.

When not designing, we focus on our most important role: raising two adorable, curly-haired children and tending to the occasional fish.
