This site is the professional portfolio of Julien Olson. I am a User Experience Designer with a background in communications, globalization and the arts.
The way experiences influence communities has been a fascination of mine for a very long time. My endless curiosity with culture and technology has lead me to live in various communities across Europe and Africa, to a Global Studies degree from the University of Minnesota and eventually to a career in Design.
In the winter of 2017-2018, I attended Prime Digital Academy. Through this bootcamp, I was able to strengthen my research skills as well as practice designing within constraints. During my time at Prime, I worked on projects with diverse teams of designers and software developers. Since then, I have worked in a number of roles. My professional experiences span multiple industries - legal, energy, insurance, nonprofit.
When I am not creating, I love to go backpacking, biking, rock climbing and sailing.
