Giulia Zoavo

Giulia (she/her) is an Italian-born, Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist focusing on illustration, icon systems, and graphic design.

Her works span from commercial and editorial assignments to personal artistic explorations. Inspired by urban life, diversity, and pop culture, she aims to work on culturally and socially relevant projects and tell complex stories with simple shapes — and sometimes words.

Lately, she’s also been focusing on creating and managing events at Salotto, a cultural space she co-founded in Brooklyn in 2023.
