Julia Hofmann, born ’91 in Spielberg lives in Burgenland, Austria and works at the intersection of design, strategy and communication. She studied Advertising and Graphic Design at the University of Applied Arts, under the direction of Matthias Spaetgens. Her work focuses on ideas that are precisely thought through, visually clear and rooted in context. She believes in concepts with integrity – and in design that moves people forward.
