Ignacia Jullian is a visual artist and self-taught embroiderer. Her hand-stitched embroidery has led her to work with brands like Levi’s and collaborate on other special projects. She also creates paper murals, stickers, illustrations for clothing, and other types of art that she sells in her online store.
