Hello, I’m Juliana, an artist exploring how sensory engagement can nurture emotional connection and holistic wellbeing through crafted sensorial objects and curated immersive experiences that invite presence, playful curiosity, and embodied self-discovery.

With over a decade designing products and services through a human-centred lens, my practice has evolved to integrate behavioural studies, gastrophysics, yoga, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

I was shaped early on by life between the vibrant culinary capitals of Kuala Lumpur and London, in my family-run restaurants. Food was more than nourishment: it became a way of life, a language of care, creativity and connection. I’m now based in San Francisco.

That upbringing attuned me to the tender details that stir feeling: the scent in the air, the weight of a bowl in your hand, the ritual of sharing something made with intention. I was always observing - how people moved, connected, and interacted through gestures, objects and spaces. These intimate moments formed my earliest sense of design - something deeply human, sensory and symbolic.
