The Owl

Wisdom. Vision. Focus.
The owl reflects how I work — with focus, patience, and purpose. Each piece is shaped mindfully and guided by instinct.
The Oak

Rooted. Resilient. Enduring.
The oak tree stands for strength through seasons, grounding, and the beauty of slow growth. It reflects the spirit behind every piece I craft.
The Craft

Tradition. Creativity. Durability.
Leather is a material that carries memory. I enjoy crafting against the grain, making pieces that are made to last.
Testimonials
I asked Julie to make me an oversized mouse pad because my mouse was continually driving off the sides of the generic giveaway one and adding unwarranted frustration to my work days. My “Mega Mouse Pad” is made from premium leather and entirely hand-stitched. It feels so nice under my wrist, looks amazing and doesn’t slide around.
Jen
I have purchased earrings and a tray and cup set from Julie. All items were expertly crafted from high quality leather. Julie is great to deal with and offers excellent advice regarding her product range and customization options. I would highly recommend JM Designs for anyone seeking high quality, locally crafted leather goods.
