Hi, I'm Julie — an illustrator helping editorial teams and creatives tell their stories through vibrant, narrative-driven visuals.
Using watercolours and digital tools, I craft narrative-driven and expressive visuals that blend soft textures, delicate lines, and vibrant color palettes.
Topics like ecology, social issues, and mental health are close to my heart, and I aim to amplify underrepresented voices in a poetic and sensitive way. I'm always curious and open to new illustration challenges !
Vibrant pigments and soft gradients are central to my visual language — I believe the right colours can help tackle on even the most complex subjects. Since 2021, I’ve also embraced risograph printing, adding a tactile and experimental layer to my work
I regularly collaborate with magazines, publishers, non-profits, and institutions. If you have a project or just want to chat, drop me a line — I’d love to connect!

A bientôt ! ☁
I am a member of the Association of Illustrators, Directory of Illustration, ADBIL et the collective Guilde-Griet.

☁ What you might also like to know...
I grew up in Eastern France and I work and live in Brussels, my beloved city. I have a background in political science and human rights advocacy.
I like clouds, morning mist and hot, spicy chocolate. And cats. I sketch in blue and cannot draw hands. Or feet. I like the grainy look of risography and the smell of ink.
Wind makes me nervous and thunderstorms make me want to hide. Rainbow colours make me happy.
