About Me

Design That Connects,
Converts & Endures

I'm Julie Dion — a versatile, senior product designer and digital marketing leader with 18+ years transforming complex business requirements into effective design and technical solutions. My career spans Senior UI Designer at ITG for Charter Spectrum, Lead UX/UI Designer at Human Care Systems, Senior Graphic Designer at Merck Millipore, and Creative Director at Monet/Madison Handbags.

I specialize in leading cross-functional teams, building cross-platform design systems, and executing campaigns that drive measurable results — including a brand identity that generated $1.26 million in sales by Q3 and a design that earned the 2019 Graphic Design USA Health & Wellness interactive award.

Named one of the 20 Most Outstanding Women of the Capital Region (2024) and a MarCom Award winner, I bring the same passion to Fortune 500 work, growing startups, and community organizations.

★★★★★

"Julie and I have worked together at two vastly different companies. In both roles, Julie's design sense and creativity have amazed me. With a genuine smile and positive disposition, she always seems to come up with the treatment or business solution that is needed. As a manager, she is a good listener and has no qualms about when and how to take action. I have always felt that she has been in my corner."

"Julie Dion is one of the best designers and art directors I have worked with during my career. We worked together for over four years and she is incredibly creative and resourceful. When given a task or project, she will always tackle it with enthusiasm and positivity. She also is adept at leading teams of developers, writers, and designers and keeping her eye on the big picture. She understands the time it takes to do something because she has pretty much done it all herself at some point and will always be happy to jump in to put in the work to get it done."
