Hi – I’m Julia.

I build programs for just and diverse digital futures.

I’m the Co-Founder and Managing Director of the feminist organizationSuperrr Lab. I’ve worked with international non-profits such as the Mozilla Foundation, the Open Knowledge Foundation, Ashoka and co-founded the Prototype Fund and Code for Germany. I advise governments and non-profits on digital strategies, write a regular column for MIT Tech Review Germany and give talks at conferences.

Some of the organizations/governments/businesses I've collaborated with:
