Hi I'm Jula
I’m a Polish illustrator currently based in Palermo, Italy. My work is all about capturing everyday moments through vibrant colors and playful shapes. I love creating sharing my love for art with others and creating expressive illustrations. I love to collaborate on a wide range of projects, from packaging and advertising to children’s books.

My Story
When I was little, I had a bookshelf next to my bed and shared a room with my little brother. I didn’t want to wake him up in the morning, so I would spend hours just looking at the drawings in the books I could reach. It was my little secret space and time. I couldn’t read yet, but those drawings took me to different places and allowed me to develop my own stories. I always loved art. Kids would buy me candies in exchange for doing their art class projects, but I didn’t know I wanted to be an illustrator until I started my studies.
During my first year of studying Interior Design at IED in Rome, one of my teachers invited me to attend her illustration classes. She said "you love drawing, not design". From the first class, I knew I would never become an Interior Designer. I finished my studies and never stopped drawing since. Now, I try to capture that special feeling I felt as a little girl in my daily illustrations across the cities I live in and the people I meet and observe there.
Not having a place I can call home became part of my identity, and that’s why I love to dive into the daily lives of those who have this privilege in the places I’m currently staying. I hope you will dive into my little, colorful, childish world.
