Hi, I’m Julia!
I’m an illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany. My work is vibrant, playful and rich in detail. Most times I create using a mix of traditional and digital techniques.
I find inspiration in my everyday surroundings and love to capture them in my sketchbook. When I’m not scribbling away at my desk, you can find me drawing on location.
Currently, I’m exploring the world of book illustration as a master student at HAW Hamburg.
