About
EDEN was born out of a love for beauty, a necessity to create and my belief that a good accessory can transform any outfit or space. Hi, my name is Julia Doughty and I'm the designer behind EDEN. Nearly 15 years ago I married the best man on the planet and we had 3 really amazing sons. We've moved all over the country from Georgia and Tennessee to California and Kansas City. We call Humboldt, KS home now where we run a 21 acre glamping experience and host people from all over the country.
Before getting married and having babies I went to school for fashion merchandising and design and somewhere in the midst of all of the above I had the opportunity to work with some amazing people and for some incredible companies. I've always dreamed of starting my own line and decided it was high time I stopped making excuses and just started creating. For the last 5 years I’ve primarily created accessories and jewelry, but in the last year my appreciation for beautiful spaces and creating a hospitable home has inspired me to start making accessories for your home too. MakingEden.com is a place to shop the items I’m currently making and vintage items I’ve found to share with you.
The name “MakingEden” felt fitting because in all of life my goal is to emulate what God originally created in the garden: beauty and life. EDEN is also named after my maternal grandmother and my own namesake, Julia Eden. She was a powerful woman, surviving breast cancer twice, the epitome of unconditional love and such an inspiration to me.
