About Me
Hi, I’m Julie—an artist, surface designer, and creative educator based in Vancouver, Canada.
I’ve been an artist since I was 5 years old, finding inspiration in nature, animals, and the world around me.
These days, I create digital art on my iPad that gets turned into products like fabric, stationery and home decor—shipped to customers worldwide through print-on-demand platforms.
Over the last decade, I’ve learned a lot about turning my creative passions into an income online. Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned to help other artists do the same.
Feel free to explore my blog, check out my online classes, or shop my designs. I’m so glad you’re here!
