    I am an information professional with experience in creating and managing taxonomies and using metadata to make information more discoverable and findable. As a librarian, I have strong expertise in business, company, news, management, and economics research. I am highly proficient at using commercial databases such as Nexis, Factiva, Bloomberg, and D&B Hoovers, but am equally skilled at finding open-source information. My most recent freelance projects include: - Developing a taxonomy to classify and organize podcast episodes for a website - Creating a taxonomy to categorize products for an ERP system - Building a taxonomy of scientific and technical topics for a collaboration platform - Developing a taxonomy to organize products and services for an online business directory At Upwork, I curated a taxonomy and ontology of job titles, skills, roles and other tokens used by customers to describe themselves and find each other. While at CEB and Gartner, I created, managed, and built corporate libraries, identifying and procuring new acquisitions, cataloging new and existing items, and weeding outdated and irrelevant items from the collection. I have a positive attitude and can quickly discern relevant, accurate information and possess high-level written and verbal communication skills.

    I am a traveling photographer, videographer and storyteller based on the East Coast. I specialize in weddings and events, creative + authentic portraits, and content for entrepreneurs and small businesses — but I document just about everything I encounter: from the marvelous to the everyday, it all has a story to tell.   Storytelling is the core of my work – I aim to capture the essence of whatever I have the privilege to document in a way that is authentic detail-driven and visually appealing. I like to think of it like showcasing the white between the brick, the in-between moments that create a story's depth and make it whole. This is why when I work with any client, I like to take some time to get to know them first over a phone call or a lunch date, so that when the camera comes out there's a sense of freedom and safety to let that story be told. ​ Over the years my work has been featured in various publications and exhibitions, such as The Bridge Mag Philly, Incandescent Magazine, Capture the Moment (Budapest), Capturing Lightning and more. I look forward to seeing what we create together!

    Hi, I’m Julian. I graduated from Elon University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Design and a minor in Digital Art in May of 2024. I’m passionate about Graphic Design and Communications. My creative process often begins with hand-drawn concepts, allowing me to explore ideas organically and quickly before transitioning into digital tools like Procreate and Illustrator. This hands-on approach brings a distinctive, personal touch to my work while maintaining a polished and professional finish. Throughout my academic journey and professional experiences, I’ve honed my skills in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and XD), Canva, and web development with HTML5 and CSS.) I specialize in brand design, typography, and multimedia content creation, ensuring every project is approached with meticulous attention to detail and creativity. Outside of design, I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s caring for my own, volunteering at rescues, or dog-sitting when I can. I also love exploring creative hobbies, developing new skills, drinking coffee, and riding my bike.
