Juliana Hung is changing the game when it comes to accessories with her playful line of ceramic jewelry and leather handbags. She began her career in the fashion industry as a blogger, creating the “jujumade” website in 2011. The experience of writing her blog led to the designer to create her own line as a tactical way to curate and document her inspiration and experience. Juliana's previous day job was an industrial designer and her precision and technical skills have directly influenced the look and quality of her own line. Her pieces are wearable yet statement-making and are designed with the intention of letting the materials take center stage. Ceramics and leather, which are typically used in everyday objects, are used frequently in Juliana’s pieces, creating a look that is unexpected, fresh and unabashedly fun. Her diverse collection ranges from handmade bags and hats to jewelry.
