Hi, I’m Julia!
I’m a freelance illustrator and animator specializing in commercial illustration, book illustration and pattern design. I love drawing nature - plants, animals, landscapes, countryside and etc.
I spent all my childhood at the dacha with my grandparents and learned to enjoy eating berries from the bushes and watching ladybugs. I remembered this when I started drawing in 2012; the themes of my illustrations have always been related to nature. Although I have a degree in engineering, I never wanted to work in that field. Therefore, when I was on maternity leave, I had the opportunity to engage in what I truly love, and since then, I have been earning through illustration.

I work with both small local brands and publishing houses, but I especially love creating patterns for home textiles. I enjoy working with traditional materials such as watercolors, gouache, oil pastels, colored pencils, as well as digital graphics
In my free time I enjoy reading, gardening, petting my dog and cats (I have three cats!) and spending time with my family.
