Our Approach

We are your partner in pushing boundaries, and this is how it’s done.

Research + Discovery

This is where everything starts. Tell us your hopes, dreams, and biggest fears. Before we get down to business, we want to have a complete understanding of you and your goals so we can figure out the best way to help you get there. We’ll look far and wide, present our findings to you, and have a discussion about where to take it from there.

Design + Build

This is where ideas transform into reality. We’ll start sketching out concepts, iterating on designs, and building the foundation of your vision. We’ll keep the lines of communication open, sharing progress and seeking your feedback at every step. This collaborative approach allows us to create something exceptional and tailored to your needs, with trust and transparency at the heart of the process.

Launch

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for — bringing your vision to life. This could mean anything from sending it to the printer to pushing it live to the web. As we cross the finish line, we’ll make sure every detail is perfect and that you’re completely satisfied with the final product. We’ll be right by your side to ensure a smooth, seamless launch and celebrate this major milestone together. Whew, we did it!

Our Legacy

The story of Julia Balfour, LLC began in 2011 when Julia opened the agency out of her kitchen in Old Lyme, CT.

Within a few short years she had built a list of extraordinary clients, a talented multi-disciplinary team, incredible reputation, and lined the agency walls with awards along the way. Lots of things have changed (hello, East Haddam!), but one thing has always been true: everything we do has to be the best thing we’ve ever created.

We lost Julia in 2020, but her legacy is carried on through the lessons she taught us, the independence she gave us, and the implicit trust she had in everyone that worked with her.
