Julia is a native of La Rioja, Northern Spain. She studied in Spain and the US, and met Javier and Dora, the original founders of Atacama Home, back in 2013 when she moved to LA. She was a production manager and a stage actor before switching gears with Atacama Home. She learned everything about design, craftsmanship, and beauty from Dora, who became a new mentor.  Julia is so proud to be taking over Atacama Home as its new owner, and is working hard to build strong, meaningful relationships with every single artisan, studio, collective and designer she collaborates with. Her ultimate goal is to bring unique, beautiful, high-quality, and timeless objects that brighten people’s days and homes, and follow in Dora’s steps.
