The Designers: Fiasco’s Julia Darze on Brazil, selling Brigadeiros, and living creatively in Bristol

Our interview series The Designers delves deep into the world’s leading design studios through a series of in-depth conversations with the individuals that make them tick. For the thirty-six instalment, we have a chat with Julia Darze, Partner & Senior Brand Designer at Fiasco Design, who shares her wonderfully unexpected and diverse journey into the design world. From selling Brigadeiros in Brazil to her transition to Fiasco in Bristol, she provides insights into her experiences navigating the industry and settling in the South West city. Additionally, she discusses her growth as a designer at Fiasco and suggests ways in which the industry can offer more support to junior and women designers. PT: Hi Julia, how are things in Bristol? JD: Hey! Things in Bristol are beautiful as ever. These darker, colder nights are sneaking up too quickly. I’m excited to start wearing beanies and jumpers again though.
