ART DIRECTOR + INTEGRATED PRODUCER

About

Hello. I’m Julie Basile, an Art Director based in North Carolina. My journey began when I found my Uncle's twin lens reflex in the basement of my childhood home. Photography became my bread and butter. Most kids played sports or video games after school, but I went straight to my part time gig at the local photography shop, working until curfew. Countless rolls of film later, I entered the digital age and became a Photojournalist. My work has been featured in local publications to the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, and the National Enquirer. (which my Grandmother was the most proud of!)

Later I joined the commercial side of photography as a Producer + Stylist + Art Director and have fallen in love with the limitless levels of creative collaboration. Many wonderful people come together to create stellar content, and we have a great time making it happen.

Clients: Ballard Designs, Bed Bath & Beyond, Belk Fashion, Big Lots, Champion, DwellStudio, Hanes, Highlights, The Home Depot, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Scotts Miracle-Gro, Titebond, Wayfair, and Walmart.

Career Highlight: Pranking Shaquille O'Neal.

Fun Facts: Expert Level in 80s / 90s action movies. Sense of humor. Pays attention to details, always. Adventurous spirit. Adidas Samba’s for life. Contagious laugh. Primo gift giver. Bossy at times. Street smart goddess. Plant lady. Always curious. Movie podcast cohost. Partner in crime to all.
