Julia ReitzWeb and Graphic Designer

Hi, I’m Julia and here is why you want to hire me: I love to design. It is what I enjoyed, experienced and perfected most during the past 41.66% of my life. I love working in a team, I meet deadlines and my designs are pretty wicked. Due to my German nature I am very organised and punctual (unless there are leaves on the track). German is also a very funny language, so if you need a great designer who offers a bit of entertainment, you might have just found your new employee!

1990 – 1996 Birth and early lifeApart from being super cute, I developed my drawing skills on my parent’s furniture (they kept it until I was 14, so it must have been pretty awesome).

1996 – 2000 Primary school (Heideschule, Cologne)When I wasn’t busy beating Mario on my GameBoy, I loved everything about school. Especially Maths and Geography (don’t ask me why).

2000 – 2009 Secondary School (MKG, Cologne)German certificate qualifying for University entranceAdvanced courses: German and EnglishWith 13 I started to create my own websites. I also fancied Jude Law (well, who doesn’t?), which is why my first layout featured him (I didn’t know much about copyright infringement). With 16 I won a full time scholarship for a Design University, so I didn’t have to worry about that, which was nice.
