Inspiring Creativity with Love

Hi, I’m Julianna—the artisan, paper hoarder, and chaos coordinator behind these journals, altered books, and digital printables.

I started making journals during a time when life was kind of falling apart—chronic illness, grief, the works. I needed somewhere to put the overwhelm, so I started gluing things into a book. That first altered journal became the start of something much bigger: a way to process, escape, and eventually create something meaningful.

I’m mostly self-taught, with a bit of fine arts education under my belt (just enough to ignore half the rules on purpose). My work blends traditional bookbinding, mixed media, and digital design with a whole lot of intuition and experimentation. Everything I make is done by hand—stitched, painted, collaged, and trimmed with care and probably a bit of lace. My process isn’t always tidy (understatement), but it’s full of heart.

Now, I create one-of-a-kind, heavily embellished journals that double as functional art. No two pieces are ever the same—because no two stories are. Whether you’re here to document, dream, reflect, or just collect beautiful paper things, I hope you find something that feels like it was made just for you.

I believe creativity is a form of survival. That your story matters, exactly as it is. And that healing doesn't always look like a straight line—sometimes it looks like a messy, hand-sewn book full of hidden pockets.

This brand is about healing, honesty, and handmade magic.
And yes—coffee was probably involved.
