Her custom hand-lettering and illustration studio, Flourish \u0026amp; Whim, grew out of this love for letters and passion for art.

Hailing from the Northeast, Julie currently lives in San Francisco with her family of three. When not in the studio, she can be found swinging at the playground with her son, strolling through the neighborhood fabric shop, or in the kitchen combining efforts with her husband on a new pizza recipe.
