hi, friends!
I’m Jill, the designer and owner behind Jula Paper.
Like you, I wear many hats, and being a wife and mom are at the very top of that list. I’m so thankful that this “job” allows me to do something I love, while still having the flexibility to be there for my people when I need to be.
I'm a self-taught designer, who has always had a passion for paper.
I was the girl always doodling in her notebooks was fascinated with stationery stores, notepads and my mini-filofax. Now, twenty-some-odd years later, I feel pretty darn lucky to design for some incredible small businesses and families, and get to look at pretty paper every day.

The Meaning Behind Jula
Almost everyone assumes that Jula is my real name, and honestly, I can see why. But, it’s really Jillian. If you know me in real life, you likely call me Jill. Jula just happens to be a made-up name with a special story behind it.
Years ago, this business started under a different name, but after my children were born, I felt I had outgrown it. Looking to name my business after something meaningful, I didn’t have to look much further than my family. With one letter for each of my boys, and a “U” for US - meaning me and my husband -
Jula Paper Co was born.
While you likely wont find many photos of my family here, know that they’re the motivation behind everything I do, and reason I get to follow my dreams.
