Hey, I'm Estefania

I built this portfolio because I wanted one place that actually felt like me — not a template, not a LinkedIn page, but something that captures the mix of things I do and love.


The story

I started in design — studied Integral Design in Guadalajara, which meant learning everything from industrial to graphic to interior. I've always been drawn to how things look, feel, and work. Over the years that took me to Tulum, London, Chicago, New Jersey, and eventually Porto, where I'm based now.

Along the way I managed Airbnbs in Oaxaca, coordinated large-scale corporate events, designed a mobile game that made it to the App Store, and kept building side projects whenever I had a free afternoon and a good idea.

I'm also a little obsessed with languages — I speak five and I'm always picking up more. Traveling and learning go hand in hand for me.


What I'm building now

FocusPocus, Travalia, and a few other things in the works. This portfolio is one of them. If you want to follow along or just say hi, reach out anytime.

Things I've been loving lately — all linked if you're curious. If you've tried any and loved them too, hit the ♥ 🙂
