ABOUT JUNE

Graphic Designer and Creative Director passionate about proving that inclusive design is also the most innovative design. Co-founder of Herwood Creative Agency, specializing in comprehensive branding strategies, UX/UI Design, Web Design, Interior Design, Custom Apparel, Video Editing, and Podcast Production. Recently she sold The Herwood Inn, a boutique inn, which she co-created in Woodstock, New York after achieving its social media growth to over 10k organic followers. Her theater background showed her how important it is for every element to work together and every person to feel included. She brings that mindset to branding and digital experiences that don't compromise on style or accessibility. She loves experimenting with emerging tech and tends to migrate around different workspaces throughout the day. Fresh environments spark fresh thinking.

Design that works for everyone just works better.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe design transforms abstract ideas into tangible experiences through bold graphics and color. My approach is deeply collaborative , constantly learning new technology and techniques to create work that's both striking and accessible.

Every project pushes me to explore fresh possibilities and make something genuinely engaging for everyone.
