I like making things work better.

Hi, I'm Josefina. I'm a visual designer and lover of all things typography, layout, paper, photography, and thoughtful details.

I enjoy making things clearer, easier, and more useful. Whether that's building visual systems, organizing information, improving workflows, or finding a better way to get something done, I'm always looking for ways to make things work better.

I communicate through memes, GIFs, and the occasional chaotic sticker. Consider yourself warned.

Structured. Clear. Purposeful.

Design isn't decoration. It's a system for communicating something clearly.

I believe content and goals should guide the design process. Whether I'm building a publication, visual identity, campaign system, presentation, website, or production framework, the work starts by understanding what needs to be communicated before deciding how it should look or work.

Good design isn't magic. It's just what happens when someone actually thinks before diving in.

How I work

I ask a lot of questions, make a lot of ugly drafts, and deliver something that actually works. In that order.

I ask a lot of questions, make a lot of ugly drafts, and deliver something that actually works. In that order.

1. Discovery & Alignment

Ask questions. Listen carefully. Figure out what's needed before jumping into design.

2. Research & Structure

Explore ideas, collect references, and go down a Pinterest rabbit hole (don't worry, this part isn't billable).

3. Concept Development

Share early. Ask questions. Get feedback. Iterate a lot. The first design is usually ugly, and that's part of the process.

4. Refinement & Delivery

Tighten everything, sweat the details, and make sure it holds up before it goes out the door.

AI & Exploration

AI is part of how I think, explore, and prototype. I use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Flora, and Figma Make to pressure test ideas, explore directions quickly, and experiment before committing to anything.

It doesn't replace the judgment, it just means I can get to the interesting part faster. The craft and the decisions are still very much mine.

Beyond Design

Photography gives me space to slow down and pay attention to composition, contrast, atmosphere, and details that often influence how I approach visual work.

Everything else is a mix of two kids, hiding in the bathroom eating their snacks because I bought them, NBA basketball, tennis, and rewatching Friends for the 13,434th time while my husband questions how I'm still laughing. He doesn't get it.
