Jules has been making art ever since she could hold a crayon and she hasn’t stopped since. Creating art in her signature cutesy, kawaii style is more than just a hobby, it’s a lifelong love and her favorite way to unwind. Since joining Muse in 2020, Jules has been on a mission to help others tap into their own creativity. Whether it’s guiding someone through their first painting or cheering on a wild color choice, Jules loves watching people light up as they create.

She is a strong advocate for museum accessibility and inclusion, a published illustrator, and, above all, a fellow creator always looking to learn.
