A Note From Julia

Hi, I’m Julia White, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’ve always been a dreamer ~ the kind of kid who was drawn to theater, music, cinema, and photography. That creative spark never left me. It grew into a passion, then a career, and now drives everything I do in my freelance work.

Here’s the thing: I don’t just design materials for you. I dig into what makes your business uniquely yours ~ your story, your passions, the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Because when your brand authentically reflects who you are, it attracts the right people. The ones who get it. The ones who want to do business with you because they feel that authenticity. And when we genuinely connect with the people we do business with, it feels good.

That’s what I’m after, bringing good people together and building something real. Not just a transaction, but an actual relationship. The kind where you feel supported, understood, and excited about what we’re creating together.

That’s the experience I want to build with you.

Hiring a Marketing & Design Professional

Marketing is one of the most important investments for any business. For small businesses, hiring a marketing professional can feel risky, like you’re gambling with your revenue. I get it. That fear is real, and it’s exactly why transparency and real experience matters.

What You Get Working with Phoenix Rising Media

You’ll be working with an industry professional, not someone with limited experience. That studio experience matters because it means I’ve been held to professional standards, worked under deadlines, collaborated with teams, and delivered results that had real stakes. I’ve spent over 20 years working in studios with international brands, organizations, and businesses of all sizes. You’re getting someone who’s been out there in the trenches, not someone learning on your dime.

The Problem with The One Size Fits All Solution

During my time in studios, I saw a frustrating pattern: clients approached by “digital marketing” companies selling boxed solutions that promised everything. Many of these companies were simply reselling white-labeled platforms like GoHighLevel, claiming they developed proprietary systems when they were really just using sales tactics.

Don’t get me wrong—there are solid marketing platforms like ActiveCampaign, GoHighLevel, Zoho, and many more. If it’s right for your business, we can use a marketing platform. But I’m not going to sell you on something that isn’t true or claim I built solutions I’m just reselling. If we’re going to do anything, you’ll know 100% what that is and what solutions we’ll be using.

Why Work With us?

Web Design & Development That Truly Reflects Your Brand

I specialize in website design and have served as lead web designer during my studio career, building sites for businesses of all sizes. My experience includes designing sites for small local operations to hospitals, healthcare facilities, contractors, beauty product lines, manufacturers, and distributors.

What sets me apart is the combination of technical web expertise with a passion for photography and visual storytelling. Instead of piecing together your project across multiple freelancers or agencies, you get one person who can manage your entire online presence, from strategy and design to photography and content creation.

Your website isn’t just functional; it’s a complete visual experience that authentically represents your business.

Access to Professional Photography, Video, & Graphic Design

I’m not just a generalist who dabbles in design—I’m a trained creative professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience you can verify.

I’ve worked with international brands, led studio teams, and managed marketing projects for clients across healthcare, non-profits, construction, science, technology, and beyond. My portfolio includes everything from full-page magazine ads and print campaigns to studio photography, real estate photography, and video production.

When you work with me, you’re getting someone who’s been in the trenches across every type of visual media. I know what works, what doesn’t, and how to create content that genuinely represents your business.

Transparency & Freedom of Choice

You’ll know exactly what I’m doing, what tools I’m using, and why. You’ll always have choices about what works best for your business.

Real Marketing Expertise

I’m a trained design professional with a degree and decades of hands-on experience in branding, design, and multimedia production (including video). I create custom marketing strategies that genuinely reflect your business—not cookie-cutter templates that look identical, and many that aren’t designed by a trained professional in marketing, design, and communications.

No More Wasted Money

I’ve worked with clients who spent $200 to over $1,000 per month on all-in-one solutions, wasting thousands of dollars on platforms they could have implemented themselves with proper guidance. They came to me frustrated and ready for something different: a real partnership with someone who understands their business and helps them make smart decisions.

Tailored Solutions for Success

Over 20 years of experience in marketing, multimedia and web design.

Real Web Design

I build sites using WordPress, a trusted open-source platform that’s truly yours. You’re not locked into a proprietary system or stuck with a hard-coded template you can’t manage. In fact, you’ll have complete freedom to make updates to your own website.

Bespoke Marketing

As a marketing professional with studio experience, I’ve partnered with everyone from small businesses to international brands, creating tailored marketing strategies that deliver real results. We’ll use a combination of print and digital methods to amplify your messaging and draw in the right customers.

Multimedia Design

As a marketing professional with studio experience, I have training and experience in graphic design, photography, videography and communications. You’ll have a seasoned professional who can manage projects from front to end, and know when bringing in a specialized professional would be beneficial to success.
