Meet Our March 2025 Maker in Residence
Julie Oh's residency ended March 31. Please check back for future updates on the makers in residence program.
As our first maker in residence, Julie Oh sees sewing as both an art form and a practical tool. In her upcoming work in the Studio during March, she hopes to help create a ripple effect of creativity, sustainability, and resourcefulness throughout the library.
Daughter of a dressmaker, Julie began sewing at age 11 and has always been fascinated by creating new designs and experimenting with fabric. Her love for vintage fashion and sustainability inspired her to transform a collection of vintage scarves into children’s dresses. She also draws inspiration for her creations from her Korean heritage and from mid-century modern design.
