Julie Arroyo

Senior Digital Designer
About

Designer, visual storyteller, and creative collaborator.

I’m Julie Arroyo, a Senior Visual & Brand Designer with over a decade of experience creating thoughtful, visually driven work across broadcast, digital, social, e-commerce, and merchandise. My design style lives at the intersection of brand, campaign, motion, and product, grounded in visual storytelling and audience connection.

Over the last decade I’ve worked across design sysyems for both web and print — from national television websites and cross-platform design systems to small-business sites with SEO foundations and tangible merchandise like apparel and collectibles.

My approach is equal parts structure and storytelling: clear information architecture, accessible components, and a visual language that respects the brand’s voice.

Philosophy

Users first

Design should feel as good as it looks — empathetic, legible, and inclusive.

Systems with soul

Components and guidelines bring consistency without flattening brand personality.

Story as strategy

Every screen should communicate what the brand stands for and why it matters.

Tools

Beyond Work

When I’m not designing, you’ll catch me sketching, exploring the Chicagoland area or just crafting new art at home. To be in the best creative space, I absolutely require some strong coffee & a good pair of headphones. I'm a comic book & Sci-Fi enthusiast, love art, baking & can come up some great dad-jokes now & then.
