hi i'm julie (she/her), i'm a performance-maker and designer based between berlin and copenhagen. my work is body-based, with a strong focus on interaction — especially in how bodies engage with eachother, with spaces and with objects. through my background as a performer i create from an embodied perspective, which allows me to design in a way that not only supports storytelling but also invites movement, exploration, and playfulness.
