MEET JULES
Julie K. Lenahan, MBA (Jules)
For over 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to work in marketing, communications, and design—helping brands connect with people in meaningful ways. I’m all about creating experiences that not only grab attention but also build trust and loyalty.
I believe in the power of words and design, great teams, and collaboration. I’m here to bring out the best in people and ideas, and to create work that truly resonates. At the end of the day, it’s about results that matter and making sure the work we do feels real and aligns with what people actually care about.
I’d love to see how we can work together to make something great happen.
Here’s my background, and let’s connect on LinkedIn.
