About Juliette

Juliette is a co-founder of Hub and Bespoke. Juliette has worked in product development for twenty years; initially in sportswear apparel design and then home textile products. Born of a French mother Juliette was taught early the importance of a beautiful presentation for all that was mundane. It must be pleasing to the eye as well as suitable. It is this sensibility that informs her approach to design: elegant solutions for everyday needs. She believes that design must reach beyond form and gather in purpose to guide the product development process; always asking “for what good?” With Hub and Bespoke Juliette hopes to: (a) curate a collection of elegant solutions and products that entices others to overcome perceived or real barriers to getting on their bikes, and (b) simplify the decision to take to two wheels.
