Julie Elman, a fun loving designer and avid t-shirt collector, was born and raised in West Hartford, Connecticut. She began her college and professional career in the field of Culinary Arts, receiving an A.S. from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Then, Julie decided it was time for a change in major… or, should I say, a major change to the field of Graphic Design and New Media. In 2010, Julie graduated from Johnson & Wales with an A.S. and B.S in her major. Upon graduating, she spent time traveling, reading and improving her skill set. She is currently living in Rhode Island and enjoying all that Providence has to offer.
