Meet Julie
Hi!! I’m Julie, with Julie Did It!! Studios.
I’ve always had the crafting/artistic bug. I have loved to draw and sketch since I was a little girl. I even wrote and illustrated a couple books when I was little. I never did end up making it on the New York Bestsellers list though.
In high school I fell in love with pottery and graphic design and won a few awards for my art pieces and even had my 2-foot clay elephant mask sculpture purchased by my school for display! I also took 3rd in state for a graphic design competition after getting a weeklong crash course from my art teacher.
Over the years I have dabbled in so many different avenues of art; from painting, scrapbooking, vinyl, to jewelry making and more. I just never quite found my niche that really spoke to me, until I started creating laser ready designs.
The start of a business..
In the Spring of 2020, my husband saw an ad for a laser, and he really wanted to purchase one. I had no idea that owning a laser cutter was even a thing. When the laser came, I was scared to death of it and adamantly declared that I would NEVER EVER have anything to do with it. What do they say??? NEVER say never!?!? I eventually started to warm up to Glowy…yes that’s what we named our laser, super original, right? I even started making some fun signs and décor to give as gifts to family members.
In August of 2020 I designed my shiplap cow sign with laser cut florals and a bow to give as a gift. I shared the photo in a FB laser group and makers went crazy for it. I was shocked and excited, and I quickly listed the file for sale. I had no idea what I was doing, but suddenly I had requests for a dozen other animals just in that first weekend. That was the start of this crazy whirlwind of an adventure and I’m loving it!
