Every life is a canvas.
Every canvas is
a journey all its own.
- Helen Frankenthaler
Hey, I'm Julia
and I'm a multi-passionate human just trying to make sense of this messy, beautiful world and make choices that align with my values.
I love art, music, design, and basically all things creative, beautiful, and inspiring, and would never walk away from a night in, kicking back with my favorite book (or design show) in a room sparkling with white fairy lights.
I believe that life can be relentlessly difficult, but also graciously hopeful - and is not worth living without a good pair of black riding boots and a bouquet of pink peonies.
I'm also an advocate for self-empowerment and social fairness and am not afraid to challenge the status quo and popular belief systems that cause harm.
I've spent the last couple of decades navigating complex, chronic health challenges and am an advocate for invisible illness awareness.
I occasionally allow my passion and heartbreak a chance to speak up and speak out on issues that matter to me.
Oh, and you can probably tell that I like the color pink. Sorry, not sorry. :)
You can check out some of my art here and my t-shirts here.
Thanks for visiting my corner of the world!
