Julia’s taste is impeccable. She helped our team at Idealist to make a microsite with a polished, eye-catching aesthetic. She took our brand and imagery and crafted the perfect engaging experience.

Patrick Metzger Associate Director of Product, Idealist.org

I admit it, I am a tough customer. Julia met my high standards with skill and enthusiasm. Her knowledge, skill and craft mixed with her genuine kindness and sense of humor makes her the ideal site builder you complain about not having when you go with someone else.

Julia is friendly and professional, and she communicates well. She paid attention to our problems to see the big picture, and also seemed to understand and care about our campaign issue. She was well-organized and managed the overall
project and timeline well!

Time For A Story

History & Mission

I’m a tech geek and composer based in Brooklyn, New York. With an MA in Interactive Media, I’m passionate about ways technology and the arts can promote community, culture, and progressive activism. My studio, Julia Barry Productions, serves artists, educators, advocates, wellness practitioners, non-profit groups, and anyone putting goodness into the world. I look forward to hearing about the awesome work you do!

Where It All Began

The '80s

I was a quirky kid who played piano without being told to and enjoyed computer games engineered by my dad on our very first Apple desktop. Dress up was a daily event. “Why,” “What if?”, and “How about?” were frequent questions.

The (Even More)
Awkward Years

The '90s

Heading toward middle school, I became obsessed with science and tech, particularly marine life and photo/video. I wanted to be a nature photographer. While the idea of sitting in a bird hutch all day is no longer appealing (talk about long hours!), I still love aquariums, watch Cosmos, and listen to RadioLab.

Out In The World

The '00s

After graduating Sarah Lawrence College, I gave talks and workshops on media and women’s health at events such as NAMLE and NOW’s Love Your Body Day. I consulted and began to help activists use an expanding digital landscape to promote their work/platforms. I also did random but fulfilling things like teach Photoshop at night school and music direct a middle school rendition of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

Take It Up A Notch

The '00s

Aiming to unite activists and artists already doing amazing work, I created StirUpChange during my graduate studies at Goldsmiths College (U of London)–a website offering timesharing and resources for progressive change efforts. Returning to the U.S. with my MA in Interactive Media, I worked with companies such as New Moon and SheWrites, furthering my dedication to using tech for good as web designer and music maker at Julia Barry Productions.

Music To My Ears

The '00s

Oh yeah. I also wrote music, organized large events, and toured a bunch, at the same time.
‘Cause why not?

Be In The Moment

Current Day

Now, I channel my love of collaborative story-telling in making a full range of creative content, whether you need a gorgeous website for your start-up business or a gorgeous song for your non-profit benefit. I also create collaborative events and spaces that contribute to equity efforts and celebrate diversity. All ways, I focus my time on working with people who do progressive good in the world.
