here is julianna with her sister’s handmade sign she made for her graduation day <3 (soobin is julianna’s favorite k-pop idol…)

Hi! I’m Julianna.

I’m an animation filmmaker, cartoonist and writer who studied Character Animation & graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, and am currently based in both California and New York City.

I like creating stories that talk about under-represented issues using comedy & music, and I hope to showrun my own series or create my own film with a major animation studio.

I’ve worked as a story artist intern at Illumination Entertainment the summer after my second year, and a production intern on Animaniacs at Warner Brothers Animation the summer after my third year.

This past summer, I was boarding & designing the opening for the Walt Disney Family Museum 2024 Film Festival in San Francisco, California.

I am currently:

  • an animation consultant at AMAZE.

  • developing a new series pitch & animated short film :-)

  • creating an autobiographical graphic memoir with Street Noise Books !

In my free time, I love taking dance classes, sketching outside, listening to K-POP, and a solid skincare routine.

I am available for full-time, part-time and freelance work.
