About
Julia Henley & Woodshire Studio

Woodshire Studio is the professional and publishing platform of Julia Henley — writer, designer, planner, and civic thinker with deep roots in the Driftless and Great Lakes region.
Julia's career spans residential and commercial design projects, collaborating on sustainable design solutions, community development initiatives, disaster recovery leadership, and editorial work.
Her writing and projects explore the intersection of the built and natural environment, water stewardship, regional identity, and the practical imagination required to build communities worth living in.
Woodshire Studio is a hub for thought leadership, essays, book reviews, project development, publishing, regional commentary, sustainability, design, and carefully curated recommendations. It is a place for ideas that take place seriously.
Based in the Upper Midwest, Julia brings a designer's rigor and a writer's eye to questions that matter: How do we design for resilience? What does a healthy watershed require of us? What books help us think more clearly about the world we're building?
