Artist, Writer, Marketing Maven, and Strategic Attraction CoachTM

View Julia Stege's profile on LinkedIn 

All my life I have been drawn to everything that is creative. I started drawing with crayons when I was two and have never stopped. I started writing creatively when I learned to read, and I have been involved in creating communities and organizations since I was a teenager. My mission is to empower people to create the world of our dreams. That to me is the ultimate creative project. To that end, I create communications that project people's heart-felt missions and attract an abundance of people to forward those missions. Whether it is a product or service or an organization that is out to transform the world, I help them express themselves authentically and attractively.

I began my graphic design career in New York where I received my BFA in Visual Communications. I worked in Manhattan creating designs for some very big-name clients such as the Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Hall, Burger King, Cunard Queen Elizabeth II, and Margaret Meade's Terrytown News.

Then I escaped from New York to the flatlands of Illinois to get my Masters of Fine Arts in Multi-Media, learning to use film, video, computer graphics, electronic sound and performace to communicate an idea. There I created award-winning designs for Northern Illinois University and the State of Illinois.

After I graduated with my MFA, I drove west to my new California home where I founded Graphic Girlz Creative Marketing Solutions in 1995. I have been specializing in branding, product, and website design for people who are up to big things, including Cafe Gratitude, Julia Butterfly Hill, Berkenstock, and Andronicos Market.

In 2006 I received a certification in Strategic Attraction CoachingTM and embue my designs with the power of the law of attraction. I also teach others the Strategic Attraction PlanTM and how to integrate it into their marketing.

Let me help you attract your perfect customers and communicate your important mission to the world. Call me for your free 1/2 hour consultation today.
