Hi! I'm Juliana.
I have over five years of experience as a multi-disciplinary designer. I'm currently working on designing assets for financial services. I've been involved in several projects to increase brand awareness, sales, and customer loyalty.
As a Colombian-born creative with German ancestors, I approach each project by fusing the best of both cultures.

So, how do my designs help people?
Well, we know that people are time-poor. People want information fast; they don’t want to read through pages and pages of literature. I design visuals that help condense complex material into something that can be studied quickly.
People also don't want to struggle through technical content, including me. We don't want reading to seem forced, so I create designs that break down concepts into easily digestible chunks. I really enjoy it when one of my designs can simply and concisely express one of your ideas. Making information trend is where graphic design excels. We've all shared links to interesting infographics or liked one we saw on Twitter.
My designs help to spread messages and data; they help to start a conversation. Most importantly, good graphic design helps me maintain a brand that people can trust. Customers spend less time and effort choosing the products and services offered by a business when they perceive it as respectable and trustworthy.
