We’re Jodie & Julie, The Design Twins.

We’ve spent our whole lives developing as teachers, writers, decorators, photographers, and occasional philosophers. Our blog is dedicated to sharing our hearts, minds, and souls with you.

After completing our bachelor’s degrees at the University of Michigan we decided (separately) on the very same day to attend graduate school to become teachers. We got on the phone and said simultaneously, “I’ve got big news!” and then fought over who would go first, only to learn that we had the same news. True story.

Along the way we both developed a love for decorating that has spanned decades. We now dedicate ourselves full-time to blogging and Instagram. Our other passions include international travel, playing classical violin, speaking French and learning other languages.

We love communicating and making friends. We are most fulfilled when we are connecting with you, whether it is learning or teaching or a little bit of both.

Why teach Instagram? After years of growing our own accounts we realize the power of Instagram and want to share it with you. You may not even know it yet, but your future can change if you understand how. Dare to dream with us.
