Hello!
Julia Suarez is a first generation Filipino-American Illustrator and Designer based in New York City. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a B.F.A. in Illustration. Her work centers around themes of memory and companionship, explored through flowing lines and shape language. When she’s not drawing cool creatures, she’s thinking about key lime pie and yapping about Elden Ring lore.
Julia is currently looking for work opportunities in publishing or animation in NYC or Los Angeles. Thanks for stopping by!
