TORN BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS
OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION,
ART AND DESIGN

My name is Julio Velela, and I’ve spent most of my life in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve been working as a graphic designer for almost a decade across different industries. My design journey began with my passion for fine arts, particularly painting and drawing. 

In my work, I strive to harmonize my dual passions for art and design. I feel fortunate to have a background in both fields; one embraces a loose structure while the other adheres to a more rigid framework. This contrast enriches my visual approach and allows me to create unique pieces that blend elements from both disciplines.
