I'm Julia. I reside in Baltimore City where I can usually be found in my basement beading, knitting, writing, designing patterns, illustrating, building websites, woodworking or any other number of creative endeavors.
I began beading in the late 1980s and never looked back. About 15 years later I realized that it was possible to combine this passion with my training in graphic design and technical illustration to teach others, which I do through my books, patterns, and occasional workshops.
I like to spend my time with my wonderfully musical husband, our two amazing children, a dog, and two cats.
