Julie Howard, the in-house designer at Timber Trails, focuses on new construction design to create unique, exquisite homes in the Chicagoland area. Currently, Julie works exclusively for Timber Trails, designing and overseeing all of their spec homes. Julie's holistic approach creates a seamless process and stunning final product. She believes she is much like a conductor of an orchestra bringing a talented team of artisans together to make her ideas come alive. Julie tends to work backwards in her design approach by drawing inspiration from items that are the final touches. She is drawn to classic design turned up a notch rather than trends that may come and go. Her design esthetic is constantly evolving but remains grounded in traditionalism.
