About Us
Julia Foxworthy,
CEO & Principal Designer
Grace Street Interiors is a business driven by a singular belief: design matters.
Research confirms that great design improves happiness, facilitates connection, and reduces stress. Thoughtful design benefits communities, homeowners, and humans alike.
But Grace Street Interiors isn’t just about what looks great (though that’s what we do best!). Design is an investment.
Before becoming a designer, I enjoyed a nearly 20-year career as a strategy consultant and marketing executive for design-driven, national consumer brands, honing my ability to translate ideas into visually compelling stories. I get things done under pressure, and on budget, without sacrificing style.
I’ve completed interior design coursework at the Art Institute of Chicago and am IDEO Design Thinking certified. I’m also a proud member of the Chicago Architecture Center and Preservation Chicago, two organizations committed to celebrating and strengthening Chicago’s rich architectural history. I’m particularly passionate about breathing new life into old homes, and partnering with real estate development professionals to maximize return on investment.
I look forward to working with you. Together, we can build something beautiful.
“The details are not the details. They make the design.”
