The Freelancers: Julia Miceli Pitta on freedom, flexibility, and facing new challenges in her work

In our interview series, The Freelancers, we dive into the challenging world of self-employment; discussing the highs, lows, and day-to-day requirements of freelancing at different design studios and brands as a career choice. With a passion for questioning the status quo and exploring new cultures and languages, the work of Julia Miceli Pitta is characterised by its multidisciplinary approach and refusal to adhere to a specific way of doing things. Her background in architecture and photography informs her practice, which spans brand identity and exhibition design. Here, in our tenth entry of The Freelancers, she discusses her work as both an educator and independent designer, and how she maintains flexibility whilst working globally. PT: Hi Julia, how’s everything going? JMP: Hi Poppy! I’m doing very well, thank you for having me. How about you?
