  • Bognar is originally from East Brunswick, New Jersey. Wanting to gain new experiences and adventure, she decided to attend Arizona State University to complete a B.S.D in Graphic Design.

    Bognar has been working for ASU for three years while also completing a summer internship and freelance work. Bognar sharpened her collaboration skills and believes in the importance clear, efficient communication and keeping operations moving forward for the benefit of the team as a whole.

    While completing her degree, Julia has gained discipline and leadership experience as a four-year student athlete on the ASU rugby team. The sport demands physical strength, resilience, passion and the ability to think quickly under pressure. Being a part of this team has been the honor of her life. Bognar has been changed for the better and gained self-confidence, strength, and a life-long community of strong women.

  • Bognar’s main purpose as a designer is to be a problem-solver. Design is about communication. Connection. Bognar wants to be a vessel for the client’s purpose to their audiences.

    “‘We as a society deemed femininity to be a way that's not supposed to be strong,’ Bognar said. ‘It's okay to be gentle and loving and nice, but as women, we're also strong and powerful… I've never felt more of a woman than when I've played rugby.’”

    “‘You have girls that have played soccer or softball or wrestling or honestly, no sports at all, and I think they all bring something really interesting to the table. But everyone here has the same baseline skill of grit and hard work, and strength, and I think that's something you can't really teach to a lot of people.’"
