Julie Azuma

About Julie

• As she was growing up, her road was always leading to becoming a clothing designer.
• Over time she became more political, and started to see the fashion business as shallow.
• She adopted a daughter that had certain "delays" in her learning and development.
• When her daughter was six, she was diagnosed with autism.
• Says one of the greatest griefs of having a child with autism is the fact that people are constantly judging your parenting skills.
• Once she started working with speech and language therapists, she realized that learning tools for autistic children were not easily attainable.
• Decided to take business and computer classes so that she could start her own business to fill that void.
• Says one of the greatest things about her business is that it built a community for parents of autistic children, who often find it hard to talk about their struggles.
