Oh hey, nice to meet you! I'm Julia and I've been a part-time freelance illustrator since 2020. I am constantly designing new sticker sheets for my own Etsy store, creating beautiful stationery products and turning my illustrations into art prints. I prefer to illustrate animal characters and beautiful landscapes, so my focus is definitely character design. Bringing my stories and fantasies to life gives me the most pleasure. I like to play with cozy, loving and cute details which are subtle. Paper has always inspired me, such as beautiful stationery and illustrators like Beatrix Potter, Ilon Wikland, Sven Nordqvist and Jim Field. I love beautifully illustrated books like Pettersson and Findus or the children from Bullerbü. 

​

Even as a child, I did a lot of handicrafts, painted canvases with acrylics and loved Window Color. In 2016, during my studies, I discovered and fell in love with the bullet journal method. Over the last few years, I tried out lots of new things. Painting with watercolors and gouache, drawing digital illustrations in Procreate on the iPad and working with paper products in my journal are hobbies that are now more than just a pastime for me. 

I'm from Germany where I live with my husband near Stuttgart.  I'm an Online Marketing & Social Media Manager for many years. It's my profession and besides of my workdays I think being an illustrator is a perfect addition.
