Julie Wilder

Julie Wilder is a self-taught graphic designer, serial entrepreneur, and award-winning radio show host who has been living a love affair with design since the days of paste-ups and PageMaker. As Editor-in-Chief of her high school newspaper, Julie discovered the magic of visual storytelling and hasn’t looked back. She put herself through college at UCF by juggling two creative gigs: promotions director for the Campus Activities Board and graphic designer at the quirky Kinko’s across campus, where she eventually rose to lead their design center for the State of Florida.

After a stint pouring textbooks at a publishing house, she took a wild veer into the restaurant world. As the mother of Dandelion Communitea Café, a beloved Orlando institution that helped ignite Central Florida’s thriving localist movement where her passion for building authentic community extended beyond the café as co-founder of the OurLando Movement and voice of Front Porch Radio. The award-winning talk show centered around Conversations for the Common Good airs on WPRK 91.5 FM out of Rollins College.

Design is still the heart of her adventures. She channels her creativity through Spiral Spectrum, her line of maximalist graphic astrology calendars, and as owner of Spiral Circle Bookstore, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025. All of Julie's ventures live under her Yestermorrow Adventures mini fempire, where she gets to blend her love for conscious community, conversations & the cosmos. An unapologetic Canva fan and Illustrator wizard, Julie still waxes nostalgic about the days of editorial layouts as a lapsed InDesign expert. She loves geeking out on the sweet spot where data and design intersect. When she’s not dreaming up her next project, you’ll find her at home near Leu Gardens with her rad teenage daughter and two quirky dogs.
