Hello, I'm glad you're here.
Hi, I'm Julia! I'm a multi-passionate creative from Columbia, Maryland, currently based in Perry Hall, Maryland, and the founder of A Marvelous Spark, LLC. Although my company has evolved over the years, the creative aspect has always remained. A Marvelous Spark is a creative services company that provides design and marketing services for service-based businesses and organizations. I love working locally, which is why I've started partnering with local small businesses to bring creative events into the community. Creative problem-solving and effective communication are key components of the work that I do. I started this business to expand the reach of my values and skill sets, after teaching art in a classroom setting for over a decade.
I understand the importance of professional relationships. When we work together, one of my first goals is to learn about your company, your values, and your story. I want to know what excites you most about your work, and how to share that passion with your audience. My mission is to help you make your mark in your industry by building brand awareness and visibility, inspiring your audience, and growing your business.
The Story Behind the Name
The name A Marvelous Spark stemmed from the belief that sparks of creativity can be inspired by everyday life. Ideas can develop from our experiences, and they can shape what we do. I decided to reevaluate my career path following the birth of my children. I identified the aspects of teaching art that I was most passionate about, which included visual communication, information-sharing, and community-building. These have become the foundation of my business and brand. My goal is to build community through creativity, and inspire other small business owners to ignite the 'spark' behind what they do.
