She is also an Executive Coach and has worked with CEO’s and senior teams in a variety of commercial settings. She is an entrepreneurial and innovative leader who has successfully influenced the way in which children and young people are supported following a serious illness or death in their family.

Julie asked us if we could create an identity for her that represented all that she does. After much deliberation, we came up with the concept of a dandelion clock. If you meet Julie, it is true to say that she is a real ray of sunshine. She offers new life and hope in a number of areas. We felt that the dandelion clock represents the ‘new potential’ that she offers, alongside her fun and friendly character.
