Her Source of Inspiration

It all began with Julie’s beloved canal boat, Calamity Jane, which regularly needed beautifying. Her love for the waterways, traditional boat motifs, and delicate roses led her to create designs that tell a story—a story of nostalgia, romance, and a deep connection to nature. These designs reflect her heartfelt bond with the things she cherishes most. In addition to her work as a designer, Julie lives on her canal boat, which serves as both her creative retreat and her source of inspiration.
