I'm an Artist, an Optimist, a Creative Spirit
I spent my early 20s taking creative roles all over Europe and the US, enjoying wonderful scholarships and seeking any opportunities to learn something new. I went with the flow, going wherever the currents of curiosity took me.
There I was, with a diverse range of work experiences, three languages, awesome practical life skills, and more degrees than I could ever need...
Then, I found my passion...
What does a Keynote Artist do?
Also known as a Graphic Recorder & Facilitator,
as a Keynote Artist, I use my creative thinking skills & artistic talents to benefit organizations and individuals.
When my clients find me with a project, my aim is to find the most effective, engaging and aesthetic methods to communicate their ideas and intentions.
A Small, independent business,
supporting big, important causes
I love the illustration part of my work, but it's our collaboration that makes it most enjoyable and meaningful.
Why hire a big agency when you can enjoy a 1:1 creative process with an artist dedicated to your project?
By working with me, you're supporting a small & independent live illustration business
- and that's what the world needs more of!

Artistic Capturing
key ideas captured, linked, and visualized in a unique (Julia) style. More of a free-flowing and artistic method of capturing the feel and ambience of a conversation

What are my rates for these
visual services?
Each client, event and project is different, therefore,
my rates are quite flexible.
They depend on...
-
Your budget
-
Hours the project takes
-
In-person or remote
-
The style and approach, such as how detailed you'd like it and in what format
If you have a budget in mind, we can tailor the scope of the project around it. I'm always looking for opportunities to work with amazing people and organizations; I'm keen on building great relationships and I appreciate long-term collaborations.
