ABOUT
BODY BIZ
A service/ experience and environmental design consultancy.
Bodies Group is a research-driven consultancy and educational resource influencing the future of environmental and experience design.
Our roots are in hospitality, where we witness the most egregious flaws in spaces that are not designed around the real people who spend time in them.
Our work is focused on ensuring that the built world is designed around and in service to people, because we don’t deserve to feel like square pegs in a round world.
We work with hospitality spaces, work spaces, people in their homes, higher education and more to inject humanity in all spaces where people spend their time.

She is a faculty member teaching food & beverage design at multiple international institutions. Julia hopes to inspire her students to think critically about food and be advocates of social change.
