Giulia (she/her) is an Italian-born, Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist focusing on illustration, icon systems, and graphic design.
Her work ranges 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.
Giulia is currently a Senior Visual Designer at Adobe, working mostly on content for Adobe Illustrator. She also creates and manages events at Salotto, a cultural space she co-founded in Brooklyn in 2023.
