PROFILE
|
FROM AN EARLY AGE, JULIE WAS INSPIRED BY THE SIMPLE ELEGANCE OF CONSTRUCTION FOUND IN RURAL BARNS AND SCHOOLHOUSES THAT DOT THE MIDWESTERN RURAL LANDSCAPE. EARLY EXPLORATIONS IN ORGANIZATION AND SPACE PLANNING OF HER CHILDHOOD BEDROOM WERE COUPLED WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF PERFECTION, AS SHE OFTEN RE-WROTE HER GRADE SCHOOL HOMEWORK UNTIL IT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO HER OWN CRITICAL EYE. AT A YOUNG AGE, JULIE WITNESSED FIRST-HAND THE BUILDING OF HER FAMILY'S HOUSE BY HER FATHER AND UNCLE, WHICH INSPIRED SUMMER JOBS IN THE CONSTRUCTION FIELD, EXPLORING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MATERIALS AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION. SHE ATTENDED BALL STATE UNIVERSITY, WHERE SHE EARNED A PROFESSIONAL BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE (BARCH), AS WELL AS A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN.
UPON COMPLETION OF HER EDUCATION, AND TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD STUDYING DESIGN, JULIE STARTED HER PROFESSIONAL CAREER IN OHIO, WHERE SHE SPECIALIZED IN EDUCATIONAL DESIGN FOR A LARGE ARCHITECTURE/ENGINEERING FIRM. HAVING COMPLETED AN INTERNSHIP IN GRAND JUNCTION DURING COLLEGE, JULIE WAS DRAWN BACK TO THE LANDSCAPE AND OUTDOOR RECREATION OF THE AMERICAN WEST, AND RELOCATED TO GRAND JUNCTION IN 2004. SHE WORKED FOR A SMALL ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, CONTRIBUTING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION PROCESSES, REPRESENTING A VARIETY OF CLIENTS IN THE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY - RELIGIOUS, HEALTHCARE, INSTITUTIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, INDUSTRIAL. IN 2012, JULIE REDEFINED HER WORKING ROLE, AND LAUNCHED studio SIX02, AS A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY DESIGN STUDIO IN WHICH SHE COULD USE HER DESIGN TALENTS AND EXPERIENCE TO COLLABORATE ON A VARIETY OF NEW PROJECTS. JULIE ENJOYS THE CHALLENGE OF PROBLEM-SOLVING AT VARIOUS SCALES, AND CREATING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO EACH PROJECT. WHEN SHE'S NOT WORKING, JULIE ENJOYS SPENDING HER TIME OUTDOORS WITH HER FAMILY, EXPLORING THE SUNNY BACKCOUNTRY OF THE WESTERN LANDSCAPE - HIKING, BIKING, CAMPING, SNOWBOARDING, RIDING MOTORCYCLES & SNOWMOBILES. |
