Julia’s aesthetic is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean landscape. Her Greek heritage is also apparent in her pragmatic and self-sufficient approach to her work.
Can’t find what you want? Make it! Don’t know how? Learn it!
Her awareness, substance and instinctual sense of style are perfectly suited for contemporary life-styles. As is her generosity and sharing of knowledge. She plants seeds and let others reap the benefits. Because you always reap what you sew.”
