The Studio

Meet Juliana
Founder & Creative Director
As founder of Pachis art studio and a mother of two, I'm passionate about guiding others to express themselves, process emotions, and navigate life's challenges through creativity.
Born in San Diego and raised in Tijuana, my multicultural background enriches our studio's approach to creativity and learning. Being fully bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to create an inclusive space where people from diverse backgrounds can connect and create together.
"I believe creativity is not a luxury. It's essential for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. At Pachis, we're nurturing creativity as essential wellness."
