As the founder and principal designer of éLAN Creative, Julie has innovated standard design processes, developing intimate relationships with clients in order to gain a unique perspective about individual needs, styles, and tastes. She is committed to designing functional solutions to enhance and improve her clients’ quality of life, work, and home by creating and building innovative atmospheres that inspire creativity, promote well-being, and improve productivity.

As an artist who understands the nuances of mixing textures, patterns, and colors in order to evoke distinct moods and personalities, Julie dives deeper than just current trends, discovering style and outcomes that can be sustained for years to come.

Through strategic partnerships with expert vendors, trades, and craftspeople, the éLAN Creative team is able to offer turnkey services from concept through detailed execution.

Julie is a Certified Living In Place Professional™, through the Living In Place Institute in Louisville, Colorado. Certified Living In Place Professional™ (CLIPP™) graduates include architects, home builders, home remodelers, contractors, kitchen & bath, and interior designers who are trained in how to design, build, and remodel homes for people of all abilities. Under this designation, Julie works directly with developers and other housing professionals, as well as with homeowners, their caregivers, and their medical providers, in modifying homes to reflect and provide for their accessibility needs.

Hand-in-hand with Julie’s desire to constantly learn and explore new solutions and innovations, she is currently pursuing advanced skills and certifications in the areas of:

Sustainable Building Products + Green Construction Methods

Living in Place Design

Architectural Lighting Design

Biophilic Design

Julie’s deep desire to give back through her talent underscores who she is both personally and professionally. As the president of the Ozarks chapter of Savvy Giving by Design, Julie and her dedicated team at éLAN Creative work with area children who have been diagnosed with life-threatening conditions. By designing new rooms for these children and their siblings, Savvy Giving by Design helps create joyful moments for healing, and spaces that remind them their community holds them in its heart. Julie and éLAN Creative are also proud supporters of Habitat for Humanity and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

In addition to her work as a designer, Julie offers her experience and knowledge to up-and-coming designers around the country who are looking to start or grow their businesses. From one-on-one strategy calls to virtual trainings and unique in-person workshop experiences, Julie is committed to using her knowledge and experience to help grow a talented community of successful designers.

The mother of five beautiful children, Julie loves spending time with her family and their animals. Deeply rooted in her local community, she gives much of her time and resources to charities in need. Her dream is to (someday soon!) enjoy a month-long Mediterranean cruise, and to add more travel in general to her busy life so she can explore the world for art and design treasures, which – true to her giving nature – she’ll no doubt bring back to incorporate into her clients’ spaces.
