Julia Smerling is a junior studying photography and imaging, and is WSN’s Creative Director. She is from West Palm Beach, Florida, and you can find her writing poetry, obsessing over films, painting art on jeans and always having her headphones on. Also, she’s secretly Peter Parker. You can reach her on Instagram @juliasmerling or her art account @jul3sarchive (where mostly her mom hypes her up and likes her posts. Please give it a look — it’s becoming embarrassing at this point.)
