Born and raised in the Centennial area of Denver, Julius has always been driven by a deep passion for design, art, and creativity. From an early age, he was captivated by the logos of his favorite athletes and sports teams, often sketching and reimagining them in his own style. His love for cartoons and character design also fueled his artistic curiosity, inspiring him to draw his favorite TV characters and bring them to life on paper.

A natural athlete, Julius was a multi-sport competitor growing up, playing football, basketball, and participating in track and field. In high school, he began taking graphic design courses and quickly realized that design wasn’t just a hobby — it was his future. He would go on to earn a football scholarship to Colorado State University Pueblo, where he became a starter on special teams and defense, later earning the role of team captain. While there, he pursued his creative calling and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design in 2023 — becoming the first in his family to graduate from college.

During his time at CSU Pueblo, Julius worked as a Junior Graphic Designer at The Agency, collaborating with university clients and local organizations. After graduation, he used his final year of football eligibility to transfer to Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. Despite the short time, he quickly made an impact, becoming a starter and team captain on defense. He also began working as a Graphic Designer and Marketing Coordinator for CMU's Residence Life & Housing department, further expanding his design experience.

Now a dedicated creative professional, Julius brings ideas to life through illustration, branding, and apparel design. As a freelancer, he works with startups and individuals to turn concepts into compelling visual stories. When he’s not designing, Julius enjoys staying active, spending time with family and friends, playing video games or card/board games, and continuously learning new design skills to refine his craft.
