About

Julia hails from the Frankfurt/Main region of Germany, but has lived in Amsterdam for over 20 years. She originally moved to the city to live with her best friend, now her husband. They have a son who was born 2008. He is on the autism spectrum and is the sunshine of their lives.

Having worked for many years in the contemporary art world, Julia made the switch to the contemporary yarn world in 2017.

Julia has always altered patterns to better flatter herself and her tastes and in 2019 took the leap into publishing her own designs. Colourwork yoke sweaters are a particular favourite for Julia, and she takes her inspiration from fine art and from nature.

In 2021 she developed the project bag line Zipp Its with Love It Design, a small production house that creates screen- and handprinted canvas bags for knitters. In 2022 they together launched ribbon, a canvas bracelet.
