Julie is the official influencer of the MetaFamily - constantly finding new things to get us all addicted to. It's thanks to her that we all have Macs and iPhones, need at least 5 cups of high quality loose leaf tea per day, and obsessively enjoy all things Battlestar Galactica (especially Bear McCreary's outstanding soundtracks - which lead to widespread office usage of the phrase "badass like bears").

As MetaSpring's Marketing Director, Julie spends her days Twittering and optimizing content for the web. She works with our clients to decipher their marketing needs and develop a focused plan of action to reach their goals.

Julie realized her passion for the web and development when she discovered Rails as a senior at Michigan State University. She had always been intrigued by the connections and interactions that tie us all together - so the study of / engagement in / and development of participatory phenomena like online communities and folksonomies seemed the only natural way to go.
