About Julia

I’m Julia Machotka and I live in the Bay Area. Over the course of 20 years, I’ve been fortunate to work with global brands, startups and everything in between. In my years as Art and Creative Director, I deliver both strategic and emotionally-resonant creative, bringing outside talent or working with existing teams. With a curious mind, I learn something new with each team I collaborate with. And while Silicon Valley runs at a fair clip, I enjoy the challenge of not just keeping up, but staying well ahead of goals, objectives and deadlines.

Even if it is a job, it’s also a labor of love. I am currently enjoying learning to animate, even if it means countless more hours in front of a monitor. My cat sleeps in the open drawer next to me at my home office and periodically reminds me that I’ve not gotten up from my desk in a while. But creative, collaborative work keeps me willfully fixed in place for great stretches of time. When I’m not voluntarily chained to my desk, I enjoy cooking, gardening and creating ridiculously cute ornaments that I sell on Etsy.

Shari Shoenfield

I have worked Julia for close to 3 years and no matter how big or small the deliverable is—or how ridiculously fast our turnarounds are—she is always creative, collaborative, accommodating, and easy-to-work with. She makes my job more enjoyable.

Lana Goldenberg

I enjoy brainstorming with Julia and rely on her for turning general concepts into designs that our clients love. She is a rare combination of professionalism, creativity, fun, and great collaborator.

Barry Phillips

General Manager and Group Vice President, Citrix

Julia’s organizational skills and persistence kept our schedule on track and gave us peace of mind.

Joe Gottlieb

President and CEO, Sensage

Julia was fantastic to work with. Sensage was recently acquired for $34 million and the rebranded image developed under Julia’s design direction unequivocally played a role in that.

Elisabetta Cattaneo

VP of Marketing Communications, Qualpay

While solidifying our rebranded creative, Julia not only helped us establish templates for traditional assets like ads, presentations and document designs, but she also helped establish great templates for video, animations and even our complex spreadsheets for all our client work. Julia not only has an eye for art, but has an ear for messaging and she works great with everyone on our team.
