Hello,
I’m Juliana

The creator behind Smart Frames UI, a space where storytelling meets strategy and dashboards do far more than display numbers. For over 15 years, I’ve been driven by a passion for uncovering the stories hidden within data and transforming complexity into clarity. Specialising in analytics engineering and data design, I focus on shaping well‑structured models, intuitive data flows, and visual experiences that help people understand information quickly and confidently. Through Power BI, I build insights that are not only visually compelling but also genuinely accessible, following WCAG‑aligned practices to remove barriers and ensure informed decision‑making is inclusive for everyone.
