HI THEre

I'm Julia van Leeuwen (1993), an illustrator and visual notes artist based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
 

What I love most about my work is using illustration as a tool to communicate stories in a clear, light-hearted, and playful way. As a visual thinker, my mind is always buzzing with ideas and images.

​

What I find amazing about illustration is the collaborative process:

a client comes to me with an idea and I bring it to life through my visual language. I translate your vision into images that speak, clarify, and connect.

​

My illustrations are characterized by bold black lines, bright colors, and simplified shapes.

​

My work is versatile — within the world of illustration, I take on a wide range of projects. From large-scale murals to detailed book covers, from editorial illustrations to pattern design — I enjoy switching between formats and finding the right visual tone for each story.
