Julia Rivera is a designer and artist based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, working under the name JMR Studio.

Her practice explores the intersection of art, design, and hand-crafted objects, with a focus on mixed media work that incorporates clay, paper, and paint. Characterized by a tactile, process-driven approach, her work emphasizes texture, color, and materiality, combining traditional techniques with a contemporary design sensibility. Her pieces—ranging from pottery to handmade books—are defined by their attention to craftsmanship and their ability to create a direct, physical connection between viewer and object.

Alongside her studio work, she applies her design background across branding and visual projects, bringing the same thoughtful, hands-on approach to both functional and expressive forms.
