Julia Kowalski-Perkins

Julia Kowalski is a Senior Designer + Project Director at the Detroit Collaborative Design Center (DCDC). In her time at the design center, Julia has worked on a range of projects from the development of Neighborhood HomeBase, to the facilitation of community engagement processes, to landscape design projects. She holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture. From 2016 to 2017, she had the pleasure of being a Challenge Detroit fellow while working at DCDC. In addition to her work at the design center, Julia has also been a graduate architecture thesis advisor at UDM’s School of Architecture and Community Development. Julia is continually inspired by Samuel Mockbee's decree, "proceed + be bold!" and seeks to integrate a bold, playful, curious attitude in her work.
