FOUNDATION

It’s simple yet powerful – supporting humans and animals in need through art.

The Story.

DESIGN FOR THE GOOD emerged from a journey that began in 2020, inspired by a desire to make a positive impact.

After studying product and industrial design in Switzerland and advertising at SVA in New York, Julia gained inspiration for her creative journey, further enriched by years of experience as an interior designer and working for an international fashion brand. In 2020, after her trip to Sri Lanka, and with the onset of COVID-19, she started supporting families and animals.

Seeking to highlight the importance of the projects rather than simply requesting donations, Julia initiated the concept of DESIGN FOR THE GOOD. In 2023, the foundation organized a charity event showcasing her portraits of people being supported. The positive response enabled them to raise funds and expand their social projects in the country.
