Chaldean Artist Lands Major Deal with Big Sean, Detroit Pistons

Detroit’s creative pulse is getting a bold new signature — and it’s coming from a Chaldean American artist making her mark on one of the city’s biggest stages.

Juliana Rabban, known professionally as Just By Juliana, has landed a major collaboration with Big Sean and the Detroit Pistons, placing her work at the center of a high-profile celebration of Detroit culture.

Rabban is among a select group of local artists featured in the Pistons’ annual 313 Day initiative, a citywide celebration held each March in honor of Detroit’s iconic area code. This year’s campaign carries added weight, as Big Sean steps into his role as the team’s creative director, curating a capsule collection that merges fashion, music and visual art — all rooted in Detroit identity.

For Rabban, the moment represents more than just a collaboration. It’s a milestone in a steadily rising career defined by vibrant, street-inspired work that blends cultural storytelling with contemporary design. Her art — often seen on murals, apparel and custom sneakers — has become instantly recognizable for its bold color palettes and expressive, Detroit-centric themes.

Now, that signature style is reaching a wider audience.

Through the Pistons’ 313 Day capsule collection, Rabban’s designs stand alongside other Detroit creatives, transforming fan merchandise into wearable art. The partnership not only elevates her platform but also underscores the growing influence of local artists in shaping the city’s national image.

For the Chaldean community, Rabban’s success carries an added layer of pride.

As a Chaldean American artist, her inclusion in such a prominent collaboration highlights the expanding presence of Chaldean voices in Detroit’s creative industries. In a city where the community has long contributed to business, philanthropy and civic life, Rabban represents a new generation making its mark through art and culture.
