Designer Julie Lamb has been honing her design skills since she was a child stringing together beads, nuts, bolts, keys and anything that wasn’t nailed down! After studying at the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, Julie went on to earn her BFA in Metalsmithing at Syracuse University, before starting her career designing collections for companies large and small. In 2014, Julie took a leap of faith and launched her eponymous collection, which playfully merges traditional craftsmanship with new technology and encourages its wearers to express their individuality. We’ve been long-time fans of Julie’s work and we’re delighted to welcome her to JA New York’s Spring event so we can ogle all of her impeccably constructed pieces in person!
