DWYL Design is a creative studio led by Julia DeNamur Bishop, dedicated to building, evolving, and nurturing brands, businesses, and artists. For over 20 years, I’ve helped shape design solutions that connect deeply and communicate clearly—across both organizational teams and independent clients. At the heart of my work is a simple mantra: Do What You Love. It’s both a studio name and a design philosophy—one that brings intention and impact to projects across every industry.
Brand Work & Creative Leadership
My professional journey includes leading visual design across agencies, in-house teams, and collaborative studios. I specialize in helping brands align their identity with their purpose—through packaging, digital design, campaigns, and built environments. This Brand Work reflects years of strategic thinking, hands-on execution, and team-driven success.
Freelance Studio & Consulting Practice
DWYL Design also operates as a full-service creative partner for startups, nonprofits, and growing businesses. I work directly with clients to uncover insights, craft bold visuals, and deliver scalable design systems—from concept to production.
Teaching & Mentorship
Design isn’t just practiced—it’s shared. Through portfolio reviews and mentorship, I help emerging designers and teams develop their voices, sharpen their craft, and build with purpose.
Do What You Love, Design What Matters
From established brands to emerging voices, every project I take on is rooted in the same core values:
Empathy – listening first, designing for real people
Purpose – aligning ideas with intention and impact
Craft – creating work that’s visually refined and powerfully communicative
At DWYL Design, “Do What You Love” isn’t just a mantra—it’s a method. It means showing up with curiosity, collaborating with care, and crafting work that’s both beautiful and built to last.
