Hello there!
I’m Julia Shea (she/they), and I am an illustrator and book designer. I grew up in Northern New Jersey, and currently live in Brooklyn (though I will always be a Jersey girl at heart).
I graduated from Amherst College in 2021 with a double major in Fine Arts and English. Since the fall of 2021, I have been working for Little Simon and Simon Spotlight (imprints of Simon & Schuster) designing books for children.
When I’m not doodling, I’m probably daydreaming about my graphic novel ideas, on a stroll with an audiobook, or chasing down dogs to pet.
