Feng shui-inspired designer focuses on wellness, accessibility
Truly great design is not just beautiful, but also supportive and nurturing, enhancing the lives of all who inhabit the space. Julie Schuster lives by this creed, creating environments designed to promote safety, accessibility and wellness.
Uniting a distinctive trio of certifications in interior design, Feng Shui and Living in Place design, she is all about creating positive energy. And Schuster happily shares her knowledge and expertise with others as a frequent speaker on the topics she is most passionate about: interior design, Feng Shui, Universal Design and multi-generational design.
While Schuster is well known for being a leader in the wellness design arena, she also takes pride in her commitment to sustainability, and is recognized as a Responsible Renovator by Renovation Angel.
But her industry involvement doesn’t end there; she is a Brand Ambassador for Robern, and in 2014 she helped establish the Interior Design Society’s (IDS) New York City Chapter, spearheading the group’s formation as the chapter’s President. Schuster is also active with the NKBA as a board member, and with the International Feng Shui Guild, and she authors the popular JSDS blog, as well as writes for various industry magazines, including Designers Today.
Always looking for opportunities to give back, she participates in a wide range of charity fundraisers, including DIFFA Picnic By Design, Housing Work Design on A Dime, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, IDS Impacts for Make A Wish and Bailey House Charity.
