JULIE JENKINS
Design Assistant, Kitchen Designer
Since mid 2013 Julie has been with Kitchen Architecture as a vital and invaluable support to our design business. Before joining Toni's team, Julie lived and worked in Queenstown NZ as one of the managing directors of her own construction company, specialising in mid to high end spec homes. Her experience in the building industry and having lived in over 20 homes herself, has given Julie a greater understanding of spatial planning and what works (and doesn't) for good living. She brings an excellence in systems management, communications, project scheduling and product understanding to every design challenge; a valued asset to the efficiency of projects from beginning to end.
Julie loves researching and analysing the latest in kitchen materials and products and is passionate about getting the right look for our clients' kitchen and home.
