Empathy is central to how I design, create, and move through life. It shapes the way I frame problems, collaborate with teams, and translate complex requirements into intuitive, human-centered experiences. I focus on thoughtful decision-making, balancing user needs, business goals, and long-term product thinking to create work that feels clear and purposeful.

Alongside Product Design, I bring a strong visual background. I design through story—translating concepts into clear, expressive visual systems that strengthen product identity and create cohesive, intentional experiences.

Being @hola_josefa

I bring empathy it to life by becoming the voice I once needed. Through my most personal project, I turn lived experience into creative introspection. I share moments of doubt, growth, and clarity—opening myself up in order to create space for others. Through words, reflection, and visual expression, I offer guidance on Instagram, not as answers, but as companionship. This project is an extension of my design practice: listening first, naming what’s often left unsaid, and translating emotion into something clear, honest, and human.
