Hello
Hi, I’m Julie. My mom saved a picture that I colored, when I was maybe five-years-old, of a girl sewing. At the top of the picture I had written in my wobbly new handwriting, “I want to be a person who makes things for people.” I would like to refine that statement to, “I want to be a person who makes and re-imagines things for people in order to make their lives better.”
I have a talent for details that others often overlook. Whenever I walk into a space, whether it be a friend’s house or an office or a restaurant, I can’t help but start imagining what it could be. For as long as I can remember I have always done this. I take in the proportions and how the space feels. And then I listen to what the space tells me about how it would rather be. I have a deep reverence for antiques, salvage, re-purposed, and quality handcrafted goods, things that tell a story of the maker or of a life well lived. Likewise, the best spaces also tell engaging stories. Being a designer is being a storyteller.
Our homes should be deeply personal spaces. They should be inspiring and energizing and renewing. Our homes are treasure boxes for our life’s collected ephemera and of our hopes for the future. My goal as a designer is to help clients look at their spaces with fresh eyes. From there, we can remix and refine beloved treasures and thoughtfully introduce new elements to complement and enhance the client’s own uniquely personal environment.
Mission Statement
I want to live a simple, joyful, thoughtful, intentional, curious, and creative life. I want to inspire others to be thoughtful, intentional, curious, and creative in their own lives so that they might also find what brings them joy and fulfillment.
Values Statement
Always be true to yourself. Approach life with thoughtfulness, integrity, intelligence, playfulness and ingenuity. Never stop seeking, learning, creating, and sharing what you gather along the way.

The Twisted Vine Tasting Room & Wine Shop
The Twisted Vine Tasting Room & Wine Shop project is a remodel of an existing historic foursquare house into a commercial business space. As much of the original architectural details as possible have been incorporated into the new design. The overall layout has been minimally rearranged to open up the public spaces, to incorporate additional restrooms, and to install an elevator for accessibility to all floors. Ramps have also been added at the front and back entrances for improved accessibility.

Process
Brittany and Sean Giles are in their early thirties. They have an eight-yearold daughter named Addison, and a six-year-old daughter named Emma. The family also has two dogs, a golden retriever and a German short-haired pointer. They recently moved into their newly built home and are looking for help making it feel warm and inviting instead of builder-white and echoing as it mostly is now. Brittany’s style is contemporary eclectic. Sean prefers a more traditional Craftsman style. They both like earth tones, blues, purple, black, and white. They plan to stay in the house at least until both of their girls graduate from high school. They enjoy cooking and informal entertaining for family and friends a few times a month. Sean is a hobbyist beer brewer. Brittany collects Disney memorabilia and has a large collection of Minnie-Mouse ears she would like to display in the Primary Bedroom. Addison’s favorite colors are red and white, and she loves Dalmatians. Emma’s favorite colors are pink and purple, and she loves unicorns. Brittany loves soaking in the jetted tub and would like a TV in the Primary Bath if possible.
The Design Concept for the Giles Residence is Contemporary Craftsman. Rich wood tones. Soft, faded, neutral color palette. Accentuated trim and tile work. A thoughtfully collected and handcrafted feel. An open flow throughout the interior spaces.

The Alice Day Spa
Process: Criteria Matrix
The “Alice Day Spa” is a luxury salon, spa, and beauty lounge that is moving into a space that has already been built out per their layout specifications. They are providing their own professional furnishings and equipment for the salon and treatment rooms. What the clients are looking for is a comprehensive, multilayered lighting plan and a fresh, upscale design aesthetic for the large and varied commercial space. The concept for the project is an English garden on the edge of a dark wood; sophisticated, earthy and mysterious.

Smith-Lee Residence
Process
The Smith-Lee’s desire an attractive, well-designed home that accommodates universal design and agingin-place concepts. They would like a dedicated home office and a comfortable guest space for long term visitors, including Ms. Lee’s elderly mother. For their personal bedroom suite, they would like a minimum of 100 sq ft for their bathroom and they would like a closet that can accommodate at least 12 feet of hanging space. They also wish to have a dedicated space for their exercise bike. Ms. Lee collects teapots and would like to have a space to display them. The couple loves to cook so the kitchen should be a highlight within the design. The couple are avid gardeners, so the design focus is on natural materials and indoor/outdoor living, optimized for the changeable Pacific Northwest climate. The design concept is: a contemporary reinterpretation blending Mid-century Modern with the traditional Korean “Hanok” house. The design is intended to honor Ms. Lee’s Korean heritage and to enhance the couple’s active retirement lifestyle. INSPIRATION

Electrical Plans
XXX NE 190th Avenue is a small 1950’s ranch house with three small bedrooms, one full bath, a modestly sized living and dining space, and a small, narrow kitchen. The house is situated on a large, flat lot in the unicorporated area between Portland and Gresham, OR. The clients would like to expand their primary bedroom, add a second bathroom, and move the laundry from the garage to a dedicated space within the house. They would like to incorporate an office area in their new primary bedroom that does not overlook the sleeping area when they are attending Zoom meetings. In the future, they would like to renovate their kitchen and expand and cover their back patio space.
