Hi, I’m Julia!

I’m an artist & community builder based in South Florida. I’m passionate about creating art and crafting events that encourage us to feel more connected & grateful to ourselves and to each other.

It’s important to seek your daily dose of whimsy in a world that moves quickly. My creative approach reminds me to slow down, pay attention, & find a little more magic in my everyday life.

I’d love to share that magic with you!

Let's make cute things!

Who am I?

I’m a lifelong creative who left behind a teaching career to prioritize my health after receiving two autoimmune diagnoses. I believe in the healing power of creativity and art’s ability to enhance meaningful experiences and preserve feelings for future reminiscing.

I now work as a full time creative, balancing my personal projects, my health, my clients, and my community. No matter how I work with someone, I’m always encouraging others to get crafty for the pure joy of it!

What do I do?
