Julie has worked as a CPA focusing on the tax and accounting needs of small business and self-employed individuals for over 30 years. She owned a CPA firm in Chicago until a beautiful home in Brown County showed up in her in box. Since moving to Brown County Julie has had more time to create. Recently she has been designing and sewing one-of-a-kind bags, made with upholstery samples, as well as woman’s garments, often made with naturally dyed fabric. When not on her computer or in her studio you’ll find Julie out on the trails hiking with her husband and two dogs.​​​
