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 (and probably the color blue). When she’s not drawing cool creatures, she’s thinking about outer space and yapping about Elden Ring lore.


Julia is currently looking for work opportunities in publishing in NYC or Los Angeles. Thanks for stopping by!
