Hi! I'm Julie!

I’m lucky to be here.

In 2021 I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia and spent a long time fighting. Thanks to modern medicine and the kindness of a stranger overseas for a bone marrow transplant, I’m still kicking! And I’m focusing on my roots and passions: art, jewelry, design, and education. 

A Brief Tidbit

I've been collecting and making original jewelry designs from found vintage pieces for over 12 years in the themes of art deco, art nouveau, folk art, and other realms. I also create unique designs, art, and fashion in these themes.

I have over 12 years of experience in adult online education as a teacher, assistant dean, and a program designer and evaluator. My passion is developing co-created learning for community and self-determination.
