Julia Rockowitz is a twenty-something illustrator, creative and founder. Like most millennials, you may know her best by her Instagram @rockdoodles where she posts daily punny doodles. In August 2017, Julia started sharing illustrations from her couch and in less than 2 years has turned her creative outlet into a business. Julia now has a stationery line that is sold across the globe and partners with brands to create custom assets to tell their unique stories.

 

 In this episode we talk about:

  • how we met at both of our first wholesale trade show 
  • how she started her punny doodle brand Rockdoodles
  • how having a desire to do something just for her is what inspired her starting her doodle instagram account 
  • having Cosmopolitan Magazine had a hand in her social media growth
  • taking the leap to make her doodles into a card line and how she got started
  • how being naive and having a gut feeling it would work pushed her to make the jump and keep going with her own business
  • how her strongest quality may also be what hurts her the most
  • how she hasn’t left room for many people to surprise her and is working on shifting that
  • quick and bad drawing and how that gets her out of her own way
  • imposter syndrome and the pressure she puts on herself 
  • the resistance we fight in doing the work we love 
  • allowing space to be “bad” alleviates pressure in creating
  • her going inward this past year and allowing herself to actually discover herself and be herself
  • creating a conscious, forward, open conversation dinner party
  • the value of having friendships that truly fill you up and lift you up
  • the challenges of navigating the growth or loss of friendships as we as individuals grow
  • things that happen early in life that create personas we take on for the rest of our lives
  • we dive into my phrase of “The Only Judge of Me is Me”
  • Which keychain she chose from my line and why!
