Julia is the visionary behind theYOUproject, where jewelry making transcends traditional crafting to become a transformative journey of self-discovery.

Her path began with handcrafted jewelry, but Julia soon discovered something was missing from conventional approaches—the deeper connection between creator and creation. Feeling stagnant in her Executive Secretary role yet recognizing her natural talent for jewelry creation, she courageously made the leap to pursue something greater.

Through extensive research and thoughtful planning, Julia developed experiential jewelry workshops designed to go far beyond casual craft sessions. Her vision was clear: participants should truly engage, learn meaningful skills, and take empowered action in their creative journey, prioritizing self-care, authentic self-expression, and personal storytelling over simply following patterns.

Julia believes every piece of jewelry should tell YOUR story, not replicate someone else's. Traditional workshops focus on technique, but experiential jewelry making is about the journey within—that powerful moment when you realize you're capable of creating something uniquely beautiful that reflects who you truly are.

Though Julia faced mounting debt and a challenging period where she stepped away from her craft entirely, her story embodies remarkable resilience. After reigniting her passion through social media in 2023, she courageously relaunched with a clear vision: jewelry making as a form of mindful self-care and empowered self-expression.

Today, Julia creates transformative workshop experiences where participants don't just make jewelry—they discover their creative confidence, practice mindful self-care, and craft pieces that become wearable stories of their personal journey. Through small, intimate groups, she fosters genuine connections and empowers others to embrace their authentic selves.

When you create something with your own hands that's uniquely yours, you're not just making jewelry—you're reclaiming your creative power and telling the world who you are.

Through theYOUproject, Julia continues to inspire others to pursue their dreams, embrace new beginnings, and express themselves with unshakeable confidence.
