About Julia

As a creative and stylistic Swiss Army knife, I always bring an interdisciplinary perspective to my work. I primarily draw and animate – from social media posts to explainer videos, but I also know how to embed pure craftsmanship within a larger context. Whether it's storytelling strategy, branding, educational concepts...

I look forward to projects that require quick, solid execution as well as those where a critical and conceptually strong approach is desired.
