Hey there! I'm Juliana, an animation and illustration enthusiast.Born and raised in Brazil, I moved to New York in 2015 to pursue a second degree in illustration at Pratt Institute. In the Big Apple, I've had the privilege of working and freelancing with many world-renowned companies such as Disney ABC, Paramount Global, and FoxBet. Now, in 2024, I've just landed in Los Angeles, and I am loving calling this place home! I never realized how much I missed living among the palm trees, reminding me of my dear past in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.As a motion graphics designer, my main focus is 2D animation combined with my own original illustrations. I love bringing stories to life through captivating visuals and dynamic movements. I always aim to deliver visually stunning content that merges imagination with technical skills. I even enjoy tackling nerdy After Effects expression challenges ;) Currently, I'm diving into 3D animation, learning Blender and Unreal Engine.Besides my artistic and career endeavors, you'll often find me exploring the great outdoors and seeking inspiration in Mother Earth's immense beauty. I also have a deep appreciation for martial arts, which has not only taught me discipline and focus but has also positively influenced my creative process. I'm currently a 3rd-degree blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I have had the honor of teaching women self-defense at my previous home in Salt Lake City, Utah, helping many women find their voice and strength through jiu-jitsu.I'm eager to connect with y'all! Let's trade ideas!
