Hello, I am Juliana!

 

I live in Berlin with my three little girls and husband. I grew up in Sofia, Bulgaria. My sister and I spent the long summer vacations with my grandparents in a quiet, little village in the countryside with no bathroom, warm water or television in the house. We spent the days exploring the garden with a bear and a pink haired doll, and inventing newspapers with crossword puzzles, songs and poems. We used to make dolls from freshly picked corn on the cobs,  sticks and flowery pieces of fabric. In the evenings, we washed our dusty feet and black walnut fingers with cold water outside and ran in to the house to listen to Grandma’s stories.

​

Many years later I studied architecture at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany and Lisbon, Portugal. I worked for a decade for leading companies in Frankfurt on Main and Berlin mostly for competitions.

​

I like to travel and I love living in Berlin, I see beauty in the non perfection and variety of big cities.
