Hello, I'm Julia, a UK-based food writer, baker and designer with an entrepreneurial spirit.
My work combines food with the arts. I am interested in food and land sovereignty and believe that food is a powerful design tool that can offer solutions, empower and educate.
I started my career as an industrial designer, graduating from the Royal College of Art, London. I worked in design for 5 years and taught on Art Foundation and MA Product Design courses at Kingston University. After being set a brief to redesign feeding systems for chickens, my interested in food and farming was piqued and I retrained as a baker in 2014. I have almost a decade of experience in hospitality as both a baker and cook, running my own businesses and working with and for food related social enterprises. I have been writing about food systems and sustainability since publishing my cookbook, 'How to eat your Christmas tree,'
in 2020.
After a year's hiatus due to ill health, I'm currently working my podcast, 'How to eat alone' and completing a qualification in Nutrition from Queen Mary University. I am looking for future collaborators, consultancy work, workshop opportunities, cooking and baking projects and
writing jobs.
