About Me

DETAILS

Hello, I’m Joseph. I’m a UX Designer with a BFA in Visual Communication Design and a minor in Computing & Digital Technologies from the University of Notre Dame. I recently earned my master’s degree in Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship (ESTEEM), also at Notre Dame, where I focused on combining creative problem-solving with business strategy.

As a designer, I enjoy working across the entire product life cycle—from research and ideation to high-fidelity design and implementation. My work has spanned startups and cultural institutions, including building interactive tools for a landscaping SaaS platform, designing exclusive fan subscription features for a music tech company, and growing an e-commerce presence for an Irish heritage site. At the core, I’m passionate about creating intuitive, impactful experiences that help people accomplish their goals with ease.

Outside of design, you’ll probably find me experimenting in the kitchen, playing the guitar I built, or watching movies.

Currently, I’m based in the U.S., but I grew up around the world in places like Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Argentina—so diverse perspectives shape how I design and how I connect with people.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect.
