what’s up guys!
My name is Julia, and I’m a Brooklyn-based graphic designer and illustrator. For the past 9 years, I’ve worked at Bark designing the packaging experience for their monthly themed subscription service that delivers toys, treats, and fun directly to dogs’ doors. I love reimagining the mundane into silly moments, keeping people engaged and laughing.
When I’m not absolutely shredding pavement on my rollerblades, I enjoy crafting miniatures at home with my two beautiful cats.
