Hola, I'm Josefina. Wife, mom, designer, and photography lover. I was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia. I moved to Venezuela in 2008, where I fell in love with Graphic Design and went to school for it. In 2011 I moved to Florida, where I met and married my husband in 2014. Later on, in 2017, after a challenging time, we decided to leave everything behind and move to Arkansas. With nothing but our dog, TV, and some clothes we took a leap of faith and trusting God, we drove over 18hrs to a little town called Benton. In 2018 I gave birth to the cutest baby: Lucas, who looks just like me, sorry dad.
As a designer over the last years, I’ve had the opportunity to work for a variety of companies in different industries. From a law firm to a fashion company, each experience allowed me to grow and develop the skillset I continue to nurture today.
I'm a born problem-solvers with an unwavering focus on practical solutions, I'm fascinated by how things work, how tools can be used, and how facts can be put together to create immediate and satisfying results.
Tools and software: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Figma, Webflow, Wordpress Elementor, Zoho, Affinity Design & Publisher.
Resume available upon request.

Josefina is a gem! With minimal direction from a short conversation, she was able to produce designs that were exactly what we wanted. She works quickly and is able to meet any needs you have. I feel so blessed to have found her.

As a result, she has managed complex and various medium (magazine print, social, web, & more) design projects. Josefina is a collaboration champion.
