Julia's talents aren't limited to acting, writing, and directing. Before creating Fantasy Girls and landing her breakout role in Uncut Gems, she tried her hand at everything from fashion to photography to poetry. "In 2012, I had a fashion line with my best friend Briana," she explained to High Snob Society, but by 2015, she found that making clothing wasn't quite fulfiling. ". . . I felt like I had a story to tell that I couldn't tell through high-end women's knitwear," she said.
After ditching the idea of starting a fashion line, Julia transitioned into other mediums. "Around then [is when] I made a pretty smooth transition into the art world," Julia continued. "I did photography. I made two art books. I also wrote poetry. Published some articles. A lot of my work was very self-indulgent, though."
