Building narrative power with visuals.

Art and stories shape our culture. Culture shapes our reality.

I partner with individuals, small businesses, and nonprofits to make art and share stories that expand our capacity for imagining just futures and growing practices of care and solidarity.

‍ ‍Praise & Testimonials:

  • Julienne is a visionary who is as interested in how art is made as she is the product of art. Working with her was like stepping into a portal. The participatory process she led me through was transformative.

  • Julienne was an integral part of our recent art-focused event. Not only did they showcase their creative talents during the live stream, but they also provided participants and our client with meaningful insight into creating art centered around the theme Health is Life.

  • Working with Julienne on the abortion doula training workbook graphics was incredible. She created an image that was radically beautiful, inclusive, and reflected so many identities, thoughtfully incorporating feedback from our group of five. Her work truly captures the spirit of abortion care and community.

  • If you’re seeking a human centered, big picture executor, rooted in the values of your organization, I highly recommend Julienne. Over a several months contract, they crafted art of victims of femicide with care for their family members, supported web development, and developed social campaigns resulting in the expansion of our viewership by over 300%.

Commission FAQs

My process, costs, and commission timeline is outlined here. This information is for transparency and to offer a general sense of what to expect when working with me - not to enforce rigidity!

  • Below is the process for One Original Collaborative Graphic Illustration:

    Initial meeting & visioning: We will get to know one another and build a shared vision for the piece. At this stage, I will inquire about: image sizing, color schemes, inspiration or reference photos, what feelings and messages you’d like the art to convey.

    Sketches: I will provide 1-3 sketches with proposed compositions and concept descriptions. I will request feedback, and, if applicable, ask you to select your favorite sketch composition for the final.

    Final sketch (if revisions are requested): I will share a final sketch that has been updated to incorporate any feedback from the previous stage. Once you approve the sketch, I will add color and detail for the final piece.

    Final piece: I will provide the final illustration in the format initially requested!

  • For organizations and institutions: I follow Forward Together’s Building Irresistible Movements Best Collaboration Practices for Organizations and Visual Artists and their fee structure for illustrations based on organizational budget.

    For individuals: For projects requiring less than 10 hours and limited collaboration (ie. an illustrated replica of a reference photo), my rate is $65 / hour. If your piece will require more time + collaboration, I offer sliding-scale flat-rate costs.

    Please let me know if cost is a barrier. I am open to negotiating rates, especially when my art may be used in service of grassroots movement-building. I’m also interested in alternative compensation models, like time-banking and trades. Let’s explore together!

  • I prefer to allot 4-8 weeks for each commission. The process outlined above can be adjusted based on project scale and speed.

  • Most of my digital art is drawn on my iPad using the Procreate app. When I am using traditional media, I love colored pencil, markers, and collage.
