Julie Forward senior designer/photographer

Motivated & Diligent

You can find Julie’s work all around the world. Pick a country – any country. Yup! She’s there. Why? Kodak Single Use Cameras. You know, the disposable ones at every counter in every store worldwide. Year after year, Julie updates and recreates their packaging designs, accessing consumers across all kinds of cultural and lingual lines.  

Julie began as a photographer, slaving away in NYC for nearly a decade. She then moved home to Rochester where she joined her two older brothers at Forward. Since then, she’s grown into a skillful, decisive designer with intuitive ideals for composition and appeal.

On summer & fall weekends, you can find her at churches and reception halls all over town, photographing weddings for ridiculously good prices for all her friends and family (and their friends and family).

Julie recently bought a big old house in downtown Rochester where she and her Weimaraner Nika happily live. Occasionally some artsy friends making their way through the world hang their hats there as well.
