about me
Hello! I’m Julia :) I’m a Taiwanese-American illustrator based in the Bay Area, CA.
I create colorful illustrations that portray a whimsical version of everyday life. I love to incorporate bright colors to create pieces that portray a warm and cozy world that is fantastical yet familiar. I hope my pieces can brighten someone's day 💟
Previously, I was software engineer at Meta, then at Pinterest. In 2024 I decided to leave the tech world to fully embrace my creative pursuits!

In addition to selling my personal work, I have collaborated with various brands to create commercial and promotional illustrations, including HP, Huion, Beautylish, Rhinoshield, Diamond Art Club, among many more. I have been a part of small art galleries, including Chunky Things in LA and Nucleus Portland.
I am currently working on my first solo publishing venture, a cozy animal-themed coloring book coming out in late 2026!
my dream project is to illustrate a children's book! if you are a writer, agent, or work in publishing, i would love to connect.
