About

My name is Julia Ratekin and I graduated from Wartburg College in May of 2017 with degrees in Graphic Design and Art with a minor in Business and certification in Leadership. Raised in Johnston, Iowa with strong family roots, I strive on learning and experiencing new things. Naturally curious, my career pursuit involves understanding consumer needs and the evolving market to meet and exceed their design needs. Not only do I enjoy designing, I also enjoy editing content, maintaining social media accounts, and collaborating with other creative professionals. I also have strong skills in project management and can easily balance multiple projects at once. Personally, I am organized, detail-oriented and competitive. My education and experiences make me a viable candidate for various positions and an asset to any team.
