JULIE DERY

Roughly 15 years ago, Julie got her design start interning with the creative director at SKI Magazine in Boulder, CO, and was hooked. She finished her dual Design & Consumer Science degree from the U of Wisconsin-Madison and moved to San Francisco to hone her design skills at Timbuk2 Bags. After years of being self-taught, she went back to design school before landing her dream job at world-renowned advertising agency, Wieden+Kennedy-Portland.

In 2014, she relocated to call the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming home. There, she founded the design studio, Saltworks Creative, a curated creative dream team. Saltworks strives to keep the designs clean and adventure gear dirty.

She launched Saltworks Paper in 2020 — a celebration of genuine, non-digital connection and communication, through the art of letter writing. Combining her love for print design, letter writing and postcard sending, Saltworks Paper was born. A moment to sit, slow down, put pen-to-paper, and connect. 

Saltworks Paper designs are inspired by topics such as mindfulness, love, empowerment, and nature. You can see influences from Scandinavian, Swedish, Japanese, and Mexican cultures and design.
