About Julia Larina

Sr. Product Designer (Visual) at Intuit

Hi, I am Julia Larina! I am a UX & UI Designer who is curious and likes to dig into design challenges with a human-centric approach. I sharpened my skills as a UI designer for almost 15 years in the Web and Mobile industry. My desire to create more meaningful solutions for people led me to UX Design. I am passionate about impacting people’s lives and strive to know as much as I can about the people I am designing for, to make the decisions based on their needs.

When I am not creating solutions, you can find me walking around with the camera or working on my photography business. I have a wide variety of hobbies, including cooking (I am kimchi and cured/smoked meat enthusiast) and food photography, ice skating classes for adults, yoga, gardening. I enjoy listening to audiobooks during my morning run. I also love to spend time with my family and friends outdoors, together we discover new hiking trails and travel destinations inside of the US and worldwide!
