Julia Suarez

Hello!

Julia Suarez is a Filipino-American Book Designer and Illustrator 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 shapes.


When she’s not drawing blue creatures, she can be found staring at the sky wondering if that's an airplane or a star.
