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.
