Juliane Morel
Juliane Morel
Designer
I’m a designer and educator specializing in creative, inclusive, and pedagogical projects for institutions in the fields of education and healthcare. I design and lead workshops, tools, and spaces that foster learning, critical thinking, and creativity. I currently work between Luxembourg and France, collaborating with schools, universities, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations.
Design Approach and Inspiration
My design approach is deeply collaborative and grounded in real-world impact. I’m especially inspired by the work of nonprofits, activists, educators, and healthcare professionals—people who engage with complexity and care on a daily basis. I see them as experts in their field, and I love working alongside them to co-create thoughtful, design-oriented solutions that respond to their needs and realities. For me, design is a tool to support and amplify their work, not to impose a vision from the outside.
Get to know them better...
What’s the one item in your home that you can’t live without, and why?
JM: My favorite ceramic cup – which I made myself. I love warm, cozy drinks, and there’s something special about using something handmade. It’s a small daily reminder of the joy of working with my hands, especially on long days behind a screen.
What’s your go-to playlist or song when you need a creative boost?
JM: A very chill folk playlist is my go-to—it helps me focus, relax, and ease into a creative flow. The gentle rhythms and warm acoustic sounds create just the right atmosphere to stay grounded and inspired while I work.
If you weren’t a designer, what would you be?
JM: Probably a therapist.
My dream
JM: I want to expand my horizons by learning from diverse design perspectives and connecting with a global community of creatives. This membership offers an opportunity to engage in meaningful exchange, which I find essential for growth. I bring a background in social design, with experience in healthcare and community-centered projects, and I’m eager to share how creative thinking can address complex social challenges. My residency with Villa Albertine and WantedDesign deepened this focus, allowing me to collaborate with healthcare professionals and designers on impactful solutions. My biggest dream is to create socially driven design projects that improve lives and drive change—while building sustainable models that allow this work to reach wider audiences and have lasting impact.
