Your Instructor

Hello. I’m Tiffany Julia. I’m an artist living in New York City with an absolute passion for documenting my life. I share my creations and inspirations through art, photographs, video, and journaling. I invite you to embark with me as I go on an inner excavation of self-exploration and personal growth—a heart journey I call a gentle unfurling. 

I have an unrestrained passion for many things and I often find myself longing for something greater than life. My hope is to inspire you to explore, create, grow, and share your story in a meaningful way. I’m so glad you are here.

A quick flip through of my 2025 Summer Stories jou A quick flip through of my 2025 Summer Stories journal! I really love how this one turned out! I filled up the journal I made for my Snippet Journal workshop at Recess Grove this summer. It’s super chunky! Full flip through up on my YouTube channel. Happy Friday! xx
Christmas week in my Hobonichi Weeks! I’m enjoyi Christmas week in my Hobonichi Weeks! 

I’m enjoying how this journal is slowly becoming another scrapbook of sorts. It’s been interesting to see how it’s been evolving.

Honestly, I think I have more fun decorating my pages with all the fun sticker bits! xx

I’m keeping an Unraveling Journal this year! I h I’m keeping an Unraveling Journal this year! 

I haven’t successfully kept one since 2023 and I really do miss my unfurling process. I’m also going to try to document my One Little Word journey in here. 

I’ve wanted to make another @amitybloom style journal for such a long time and was studying Nazy’s beautiful layered journals to see if I could make one of my own. It’s almost like she knew what I was up to because at the ending of the year, she offered her Hanky Diaries course, where she teaches the exact layered covers I had been studying! Signing up for her class gave me that push to finally make mine. The timing was perfect!

So this journal is my take and I’ve got a full walkthrough of it up on my YouTube channel. The cover is so tactile with lots of layers of fabric and paper. I absolutely love it. It just so me. 

Highly recommend Nazy’s class, as well as her Artist in Bloom class, as I drew inspiration from that one too. xx
I’m behind on sharing my Joy Journal spreads in my I’m behind on sharing my Joy Journal spreads in my Hobonichi Weeks. This was the week right before Christmas. xx
I’ve got a new YouTube video up, going through my I’ve got a new YouTube video up, going through my 2025 journals and sharing what’s lined up for 2026. I’ll be using lots of the same types of journals, just the next versions of them. These are my main journals:

✩ Pocket Filofax - my monthly/weekly planner
✩ Hobonichi Weeks - my joy journal
✩ A6 Hobonichi Hon - my soulscape journal
✩ A6 handmade fabric journal - my lovely journal (art/junk/scrapbook memory keep hybrid)
✩ B6-ish handmade journal - my unraveling journal (and OLW)

Though, now that I have this video up, I’m thinking about adding at least one other journal—a small art journal. So, I might have to film an update lol. But I hope you enjoy if you watch. 

What’s in your lineup? xx
