About Julia
My name is Julia and I’m an Australian interior designer based in New York. After a career in fashion, I made the transition to interiors, graduating from Sydney Design School. I have since gained hands-on studio experience, at two full-service interior design studios, where I worked directly with the principals across multiple residential projects.
I’ve gaining hands-on experience in everything from drafting and 3D modeling to sourcing, project management, and client presentations. Along the way, I’ve immersed myself in New York’s design scene. Countless showroom visits and conversations with suppliers have helped me build a strong industry network, ensuring I can hit the ground running in my next role.
My interior design education started very young, and many of my childhood memories still underpin my design philosophy today. However, it was during my time living in Paris that my love of design expanded immensely, with countless hours spent in historic antique markets and iconic cookware stores, absorbing unfathomable amounts of architectural beauty every day. This experience marked the decision to pursue my interest formally.
I thrive on the variety interior design brings — from research and sourcing to refining a floor plan, overseeing an install, or collaborating with contractors. I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable. Throughout my career, I am always looking for ways to be a strong support to others on my team.
Design Philosophy
My design philosophy is informed by the belief that interiors should be deeply reflective of the people who inhabit them. I believe in allowing the past to inform the present. I’m particularly drawn to historical homes and spaces where original architectural details and traditional craftsmanship are honored alongside contemporary materials. To me, when done right, this harmonious blend of old and new is what creates an atmosphere that feels warm, inviting, and, most importantly, personal.
I place great importance on understanding the emotional tone clients wish to evoke in their spaces and I believe that great design is the result of a collaborative process between the client and designer, as well as the suppliers, craftsmen, and artisans who bring the vision to life.
By considering every element of the design from the architectural details and joinery to the materiality, furniture, and the curation of antiques and objects, I strive to create environments that stand the test of time.
