Hi all! Got this juniper that I’m starting to work on and I’m stumped on how to design it. There is some good movement but I’m not sure where to go with it, any ideas are appreciated! I do have to clean it up and do some branch selection too

Hard to give a definitive response based upon this view. However, I would wire the secondaries out with some movement, so they all get sun and see what develops. if you get strong runners at the tips (particularly the upper branches), cut them back to pair of good shoots.
