What Clients are Saying
When I launched the first version of my digital marketing consultancy’s website, I quickly realized it blended into the noise. The logo and UI felt like every other consultant in the space: polished, but forgettable. It didn’t reflect our brand, and it definitely didn’t differentiate us.
Working with Gondola Design completely changed that. Julia’s holistic approach to brand identity and user experience pushed us to think bigger and deeper about who we are and how we show up. She didn’t just redesign the site, she refined Origin Story’s positioning, challenged our assumptions, and elevated our brand narrative so the visual experience matched our value proposition.
Beyond her expertise, Julia was a fantastic partner and was kind, honest, and direct in the best way. She guided us through meaningful improvements that strengthened both the aesthetics and the business impact of our site.
Today, our website is clear, confident, and unmistakably ours. It positions Origin Story as a leader in digital marketing, and when potential clients visit, they immediately understand who we are and trust we can deliver at the highest level.”

I worked with Julia on several projects at Ancestry, including home page/landing page designs, conversion flows, and also the new Ancestry corporate site. Julia is one of the most talented creative folks I have worked with. She is strategic, thoughtful, and calm (all huge advantages)…. On the new Ancestry corporate site, she helped drive a truly day-vs-night transformation that represents the company and the brand beautifully.”

I came to Julia and Gondola Design with a mess of an old website that actually had great content. It was the unfortunate result of four different iterations created by four prior web designers, each with its own defects and deficiencies. Julia, with incredible patience, not only figured out how to modernize the website and better express Goldring Travel’s place in the luxury and expedition travel market, but also how to address all the errors.
With a great deal of listening, researching the unique niche Goldring Travel lives in, and quiet confidence, Julia transformed Goldring Travel’s website into a powerful marketing source and an impressive calling card for Goldring Travel. In the few short weeks since the website’s relaunch, there has been a substantial increase in inquiries for solid luxury and expedition services, which is clearly a result of the more professional and engaging website.”

In my career, I’ve worked with many people on websites and never experienced such a user-friendly process that ended up with people reaching out to me saying they love the site.
Gondola Design delivered measurable ROI, elevating our brand while streamlining our creative process. Julia interpreted what was hard to describe, she asked a lot of questions, truly listened, then offered options that deciphered intent. Her strategic approach transformed our visual communication into a powerful business asset. Julia is absolutely masterful.”
