Julie Lai is an illustrator born and raised in Hong Kong. She graduated from Falmouth University with a BA in Illustration, currently based in Bristol, UK.  

Her illustrations explore experiences through an emotive lens, utilising fluid lines and textures. Nature and organic forms are a constant source of inspiration.
