Philosophy: Form with feeling

Julio designs with purposeful simplicity: work that informs, moves, and connects. He approaches each project with a thoughtful lens, balancing the client’s goals with real audience needs to turn complex problems into clear, lasting solutions.

Timelessness anchors his work. With a strong foundation in design principles and a feel for movement and modern methods, Julio builds experiences meant to last, both in form and function.

Guided by curiosity and a love of the craft, he’s always exploring new ways to make ideas land with clarity and impact.

Now, as a father to a beautiful daughter, Julio sees design—and life—through an even more conscious lens. In this new role of fatherhood, he’s more attuned to the importance of nurturing imagination with joy, curiosity with dare, and kindness with candour. He strives to live these values not only in his work, but in the way he shows up every day, so his daughter can see it, feel it, and grow with it.

Practice & Purpose: Strategy with soul

Julio studied graphic design at Seneca College in Toronto and brings over a decade of experience across freelance, in-house, and agency roles. As Experience Design Lead at Syatt, he transforms ideas into systems that work, blending strategy and design to help brands grow with intention.

As Creative Director at Choose Humanity, a Canadian nonprofit supporting newcomers facing religious discrimination, Julio uses design to amplify stories, build trust, and drive social change.

Julio’s work extends beyond roles. He believes in creativity with a conscience—mentoring, collaborating, and using design as a tool to shape a more inclusive world. With every project and every conversation, he aims to lead by example, not just as a designer, but as a father, partner, and citizen, showing that thoughtful creativity can be a lifelong force for good.
