Hello everyone,
Today I pruned my itoigawa juniper. I have spent some months thinking about the design and today, since the tree is healthy I decided to go ahead.
I would like to know your opinion about the changes I made and maybe hear some recommendations for the future design.
Thank you in advance!
Regards!

It is much better, congrats!
Now you should concentrate on bringing the foliar mass inside. The lower branches are way too leggy.
To be honest, I don't think you need that first right branch at all, but since the plant is small, leave it for now, and make the juniper grow for a couple of years.
Then you decide which branch should go.

Well done. To me it looks like you missed an opportunity to get a more delicate branch with better taper and more movement to the right that would suit the tree better. I am talking about the first secondary branch in your before photo.
But as allways, it’s not my tree, it’s yours. I second every thing else Clicio is saying.
