Her pen name comes from a character named Julietta Sakamoto from the seinen manga series, Air Master.
Suzuki has a love of cats, koalas, and sharks. According to an interview with Hakusensha, she first started drawing when she was in her second year of elementary school in a sketchbook of Japonica. She has stated that although does not read much, she enjoys works by Junji Ito. Her favorite character is Ashia. Suzuki has mentioned that she finds male characters easier to draw in general.
=Career=
Suzuki first made her debut by submitting her work, {{nihongo||裏アンティーク|Ura Antique}} to Hakusensha's 44th Big Challenge. Her one-shot was later short listed and published in the first August issue of Hana to Yume in 2004. Her second one-shot, {{nihongo||朝が来る|Asa ga Kuru|Morning Has Come}} was again submitted, but to the Hana to Yume Mangaka Course, in which she won the Great Effort Award. The one-shot was then serialized in Hana to Yume's 16th issue.
Suzuki then wrote another one-shot, {{nihongo||星になる日|Hoshi ni Naru Hi|The Day I Needed the Stars}} and it was published in Hana to Yume's special publication, Hana to Yume Plus, which was released on September 15, 2004. In the November issue of Bessatsu Hana to Yume, she had another one-shot, {{nihongo||マイプレシャス|Mai Pureshasu|My Precious}}. {{nihongo||拝み屋裏台帳|Ogami-ya Uradaichō}} was her last one-shot for that year. It appeared in the 24th issue of Hana to Yume.
In 2005, she had yet another one-shot, {{nihongo||マイブラッディライフ|Mai Buraddi Raifu|My Bloody Life}} in the January issue of Bessatsu Hana to Yume. She then published {{nihongo||椿檻|Tsubaki Ori}} in Hana to Yume's February issue. In April, {{nihongo||サクラチル|Sakurachiru}} was also published in the same magazine. Then in June, her first series titled {{nihongo||悪魔とドルチェ|Akuma to Doruche|Akuma to Dolce}} began to serialize in Hana to Yume. Shortly after Akuma to Dolce, Suzuki started another series, {{nihongo||カラクリオデット|Karakuri Odetto|Karakuri Odette}} in Hana to Yume.
In 2007, she had one more one-shot, {{nihongo||片恋★悪魔ちゃん|Katakoi★Akuma-chan|One-sided Love★Akuma-chan}} for the 14th issue of Hana to Yume. In its January 2008 issue, Karakuri Odette had finally ended its serialization with 35 chapters, compiled into 6 volumes. Not long after Karakuri Odette ended, she started another series, {{nihongo||神様はじめました|Kami-sama Hajimemashita|Nice to Meet You, Kamisama}} (called Kamisama Kiss in Viz's English version), in the same magazine.
She attended her first signing event in Animate located at Takashima, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture on May 24, 2009.{{cite web|url=http://natalie.mu/comic/news/16139|title=鈴木ジュリエッタ「神様はじめました」3巻発売でサイン会開催|author=Natasha, Inc.|date=|work=natalie.mu|access-date=May 5, 2015}}
