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 with two full-service interior design studios, working directly with the principals across multiple high-end residential projects.
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.
My interest in design began very young and many of my childhood memories still underpin my design philosophy today. However, it was my time living in Paris that marked the decision to pursue my interest formally. My love of design expanded immensely during that time, with countless hours spent in historic antique markets and iconic cookware stores, and absorbing unfathomable amounts of architectural beauty every day.
I thrive on the variety that interior design brings — from research and sourcing to refining a floor plan, overseeing an installation or collaborating with contractors. I’m highly organised, detail-oriented and adaptable, and throughout my career I have always looked for ways to be a strong and thoughtful support to those around me.
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 honoured 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 and detail of the design thoughtfully, 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.
