Hi everyone, my name is Julie Ann and I'm an interior designer located in Rochester, NY (serving Monroe County locally), as well as an online virtual interior designer (aka edesign). I've been designing homes and in this industry for over 10 years, and I love helping people create spaces that they love. I started my own business in April of 2019.

I write this blog to share my knowledge and expertise with you. I love writing about all things interior design, from romantic bedroom inspirations to projects that I’m working on for interior design clients. (See archive below for all of my blog categories and covered topics.)

But I don't want to just talk at you. I want to hear from you too.
