Brightest Nights

Ramadan a period when night becomes day and day becomes night; schedules are turned on their heads as the day is spent inside, fasting, and praying, while night transforms into a time of celebration and liveliness.  As a brand that has historically deep roots in reflecting cultural stories and eras, Ramadan was an ideal time for Cadillac to document and reflect the culture during Ramadan that no one talks about – the night culture. Additionally, the mobile-filming approach gives each episode an organic and authentic feel versus the overly produced clichés of Ramadan. 'Brightest Nights' cements another cultural milestone for Cadillac.

Hey! I'm Juliana, a Senior Art Director and Graphic Designer with 11 years of experience creating work across North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. I've collaborated with independent agencies, NGOs, and global networks like BBDO, Ogilvy, Cheil and Saatchi & Saatchi, always combining storytelling, design, and cultural insight to shape meaningful creative work.
 
My experience spans a wide range of projects, from large-scale campaigns for international brands to hands-on work in idea generation, design and art direction.

I've helped tell meaningful stories for brands like Bodyform, Cadillac, Saudi Tourism, Samsung, and even the Emirates Mars Mission. Mentoring younger creatives is also an important part of my practice, supporting others in finding their voice and developing their craft.

When I’m not working, I’m usually digging through obscure music or experimenting with visuals. It’s what keeps me going (and probably my coping mechanism).
