Meet AIU Faculty/Staff
Meet Julia Korper
Degrees:
- B.A. (Hons) Kingston University, London
Growing up in Tangiers, Paris, Toronto and London was a hugely stimulating beginning for me. I was born in London, England of Czech parentage and the direction they took in their travels had enormous influence on my vision of the world. By the age of 7 I had already learnt French, English, and a bit of Arabic. The greatest influence in chosing my career, as I was growing up, was British design, and so I came to do my degree in Interior Design at the Kingston College of Art.
I have worked as a freelance designer, on the design of the Pullman and Wagonlit interiors that became know as the Oriental Express Train. It still runs to Venice, and exotic destination from Paris to the rest of Europe. Also completed were the interior design of De Beers Headquarters, and airport projects, and restaurants.
Setting up Julia Korper Interior Design, allowed me to branch into major residential developements in central London.
I teach to learn and so will often be found taking my students around the fantastic facilities for materials in London Showrooms and building projects.
I enjoy skiing, and running in my spare time, and have a lot of fun watching my three daughters grow up.
