Julia is the founder of Ja.Mun.Mai, a female sewing cooperative based in Yangon. Working closely with six women, Julia produces modern everyday garments inspired by Myanmar’s rich traditions.

Ja.Mun.Mai works closely with the Yangon Women’s Development Center, where women in vulnerable conditions learn life skills and earn an income from their handicrafts.

Originally from France, Julia’s passion for Naga embroidery, which she refers to as ‘visual poetry’ and Myanmar textiles translates into her original and wearable designs.
