AdWeek once called Juliana's work “100% all the things they tell you not to do in ad school”, a sentiment she embraces wholeheartedly—because she didn’t go to ad school. Juliana taught herself the craft, building her portfolio during late nights after her architecture job, knocking on agency doors, and hustling her way into the industry. Her unorthodox approach has earned her a reputation as a creative force who does things differently.
Juliana Gutowski is an interdisciplinary Creative Director/Art known for delivering sophisticated, culturally resonant campaigns infused with a sense of social responsibility. Currently freelancing, she has led campaigns for brands such as Sephora, American Express, and Bayer at agencies including R/GA and MullenLowe. Prior to freelancing, Juliana honed her craft at Johannes Leonardo, Droga5, Anomaly, Grey Group, and BBDO, contributing to global campaigns for adidas, Nike, Google, Amazon Music, Bose, Fossil, and Volvo.
An award-winning creative, Juliana’s work has been recognized by Cannes, The One Show, and Clio Awards. It’s also been featured in outlets such as Vogue, Forbes, Advertising Age, Adweek, Pitchfork, Highsnobiety, Hypebeast, Esquire, and Economic Times.
Juliana’s career began as an architect where she developed a holistic approach to problem solving that remains the heart of her creative philosophy. This interdiscilplinary perspective considers the interplay of form, function and the human experience and fuels her ability to balance strategy with imaginative, impactful storytelling.
Raised in Warsaw, Poland, Juliana’s dedication to mentorship and social advocacy is deeply informed by her expatriate upbringing. Navigating the liminal spaces between clashing cultures and a developing global identity, she has a unique ability to amplify voices and stories often left unheard. Her work frequently explores underground youth culture, capturing narratives that have yet to take global center stage.
Juliana’s portfolio reflects her commitment to championing positive social change; often centering commonly ignored women’s narratives at the heart of her storytelling. Her work in the beauty and sports industries—including campaigns for adidas, Nike, Fossil, and Sephora—challenges traditional norms and pushes for greater representation and inclusivity.
Outside of the office, Juliana enjoys building sound stages at Burning Man, exploring remote concert venues, and talking about brutalist architecture.
