PROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION AND PEER FEEDBACK
“It was so wonderful to have Julia as a guest creative for our Creative Conversation Lunch series.
Her story is so inspiring and her honesty, authenticity and sense of self-deprecating humour only endeared her to us, and our audience even more - if that is possible, because we all already loved her! Julia’s enthusiasm, energy and passion for her creative projects and fellow creatives carries everyone along with her. So inspirational!
Amanda Holland, owner of Small Acorns and Squirrel Café in Wellington
“Ju is a creative rain maker, advocate, story teller, trend setter, cheerleader and change maker. She applies her unique critical eye to bring out the very best in artists, creatives and the creative industry as a whole. Her support, encouragement, curation, practical advice, event hosting, content creation, story telling, business nous and unwavering passion for art and creativity for all champion a strong NZ art community from both sides of the table - for artists, but also in the work she does making owning and enjoying art and design a part of everyday life.
I've been very lucky to have the support of Julia since I started on my own creative career 10 years ago, and am still so grateful and amazed by the insight and inspiration she can bring.”
Evie Kemp, Artist/Designer/Design Personality
“Creative dynamo Julia Atkinson-Dunn is such a treat to work with. Her bubbly charm and natural charisma immediately puts people at ease which allows her to capture the most magical moments in her work.
Her presence, professionalism and energy is completely addictive - we can't wait to work with her again ASAP!”
- Jess Wright & Lara Davies, Home-Work
“Studio Home is the online space that has been consistently inspiring and delighting me for years now.
There's just something so satisfying about coming along for the ride with this creative genius.
Not to mention her legendary ability to shine a light on some of the most wonderful arts, lifestyle and events that always seem to be just the thing I'm looking for. Her aesthetic just sings to me.”
- Fleur Woods, Artist
