Julie R. Rodriguez, CLIPP Founder and lead designer, éLAN Creative
Julie Rodriguez’s intention had always been to work in the medical field; however, life had other plans for her. After she began a career in interior design, she found she was right where she needed to be to make a difference. “I began to embrace how good design changes lives—in ways both big and small— and started noticing what an impact my expertise had on my clients,” she says. To expand on this, she launched éLAN Creative, an interior design-build firm specializing in high-end design and turnkey construction. “We design functional solutions to improve our clients’ quality of life, work, and play,” Julie says. “It’s extremely important to me to design through the lens of how it will be to live in a space and what is needed for people to flourish mentally, emotionally, and physically.” In addition, Julie supports Habitat for Humanity and serves as president of the Ozarks chapter of Savvy Giving by Design, where she designs for area children who have been diagnosed with lifethreatening conditions. “I also enjoy sharing my experience with new designers,” she says.”I believe fostering community makes us all better!”
