Let's Connect

What I bring to a project

❤️ A clear point of view
No generic work-for-hire here. Every project gets a genuine creative voice; one that's been sharpened over 25 years of professional design and a lifetime of making things that matter.
🎨 Work that holds up
From a spot illustrion to a full coordinating collection, the work is built to translate — across colorways, products, and scales. That's the interior designer in me. I think in systems.
❤️ A real creative partner
I show up prepared, I communicate clearly, and I know how to take a brief and make it better. You get the art and a partner who understands storytelling, production, and how creative work moves from concept to finished product.

My work blends joyful storytelling, thoughtful design, and decades of professional creative experience to create illustrations that connect, delight, and endure.

Hi, I'm Jules

Hi, I'm Jules. I draw characters with big feelings, make patterns that light up a room, and write picture books about the things that matter most — loss, wonder, and finding your people. Turns out art was never the plan B. It was always the plan.
