About

Photographer first. Ten years at Samsung. Now helping brands turn chaos into shape.

I'm Julia, a Project & Operations Manager from Buenos Aires, now based in Rio de Janeiro.

Where it started

Always curious. As a kid I loved reading, writing and taking notes. At 14 I fell for photography; friends became my models. In my last year of school, my sister and I started a swimwear brand.

Learning by doing

I joined Samsung at 20, knowing little, and spent ten years moving across areas, teams and managers. I learned to ask a lot, and to get creative when there is no clear answer.

Where I am now

At 30 I left Samsung to move, get uncomfortable and keep exploring. Now I bring big‑company structure to founders and smaller brands, keeping it human.

How I work

  1. Drive over title.
  2. Say it before it's a surprise.
  3. One language for everyone.

How I run every project: everything written down, priorities in sight, no surprises. Drag the cards.
