Hola! I’m Juliana, an Art Director with 13 years of experience, currently working as an Associate Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi in New York.

I combine my experience in different markets with my passion for art direction to create work that is both visually arresting and culturally relevant.

Originally from a small town in Colombia, I grew up surrounded by bats, cicadas, and the occasional venomous snake. My career began in Bogotá, Colombia, and has since taken me to cities like Dubai, Toronto, and San Francisco, before settling in Brooklyn, New York.
