Since graduating, Julia has performed at theatres across Norway and Sweden, including Riksteatret, Teater Innlandet, Unge Viken Teater, and Östgötateatern. She is also the managing director and co-creator at Feil Teater, an acclaimed independent company known for its bold and playful productions.

She also appears in acclaimed director Joachim Trier’s feature film Sentimental Value, which won the Grand Prix at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. In addition, she is currently filming the international TV drama Breendonk in Belgium.
In spring 2026, Julia will take on the title role in Yerma by Federico García Lorca at Västmanlands Teater, a powerful production exploring themes of longing, identity, and isolation.
