Justina Blakeney is a multidisciplinary designer, artist, and New York Times bestselling author whose work lives at the intersection of creativity, color, and culture. She’s best known as the founder of Jungalow®, a pioneering lifestyle brand that began as a personal blog and blossomed into a global movement grounded in the belief that home should be a reflection of who we are: vibrant, layered, and alive.

Raised in California by a culturally blended family with roots and seeds scattered around the world, Justina’s perspective has always been expansive, drawing on nature, intuition, and pattern as tools for storytelling and self-expression. She helped crack open the design world, making space for color, culture, and personal story in a field long dominated by minimalism and sameness.

Whether she’s painting, designing, making, or writing, Justina’s creative practice is an ever-evolving multi-magical experiment. Her newest works include a body of fine artwork that explores themes of identity and regeneration and Grow: Pathways to Passion, Purpose, and Peace, a book and oracle deck co-authored with her mother, developmental psychologist Dr. Ronnie Blakeney. (Coming January 2026.)

Justina’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Architectural Digest, and Elle Decor, and she was named to Architectural Digest’s AD100 list. She’s shared her insights on stages and podcasts including: SXSW, New York Times Live at Home, Unlocking Us with Brené Brown, and We Can Do Hard Things. Through her art, books, speaking engagements, social platforms (where she’s built a combined audience of over 3 million), she shares not only her vibrant aesthetic but the deeper philosophies that fuel her work: joy as resistance, nature as healer, and creativity as a vital force for both personal and planetary wellness.

She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Jason, their wildly creative kiddo Ida, two mystical, mischievous cats named Juju and Nova, and a lush indoor jungle that serves as both muse and mirror — for a life spiraling upward.
