Featured Work

My name is Giuli (it’s Italian and pronounced “Julie”!) Hoffmann and I’m a graduate student in the Media Arts, Design, and Technology program at North Carolina State University. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in Media and Journalism and double minors in Creative Writing and Studio Art. I work part-time as a Web Development Intern at Go Fish Digital in Raleigh.

Ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil, I’ve been an artist and writer. After taking my first digital storytelling class at UNC freshman year, I realized I could translate my traditional art skills to creative digital forms, thus sparking my passion for graphic and experience design. What other fields allow you to combine passions for photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, storytelling, problem-solving, and emerging technologies?

Some of my hobbies include:

• Thrifting— one might even use the term “shopaholic” 🫣
• Reading— my favorite series are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Hunger Games 🥸
• Traveling— I spent 3 months in Europe the summer of 2022! 😊
• Working out— I usually skip cardio for a leg day 😅
• Watching movies— rom coms are my favorite! 😍
• Photography— I’m encapsulated by shadows, reflections, abstract colors, and nature surrounded by man-made elements
• Taking late night drives to nowhere— bonus points if there’s food involved 🤤
• Curating niche music playlists— I’ve listened to over 150,000 minutes on Spotify for each of the past 4 years 🤯
