Since launching the studio, she has led high-end residential projects across the New York area, earning a reputation for her refined aesthetic, expert project management, and a personalized approach to every client engagement.
With over a decade of multidisciplinary experience in architectural and interior design, Josefina combines a background in the visual arts with a global perspective shaped by her work across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Europe. She specializes in full-scope project execution, from concept development and vendor coordination to procurement, construction oversight, and sustainable design integration. Her work is defined by a vibrant design sensibility, a natural command of spatial storytelling, and a signature ability to infuse even the most technical projects with warmth, ingenuity, and expressive design.
Before founding Colores, Josefina collaborated with visionary architects, builders, and creative professionals, developing a design philosophy grounded in the use of natural materials, dynamic color palettes, and environmentally conscious choices. She is also the founder of Paper Bijouterie, a creative venture that reflects her commitment to sustainability through wearable art crafted from repurposed materials.
Josefina’s expertise is built on a strong academic foundation. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) and two Master’s degrees from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona. One in Urban and Architectural Management and Valuation, and another in Spatial Planning. Her continued education includes a Postgraduate Degree in Project Management from PUCMM, where she gained mastery in agile methodologies, leadership communication, and modern project delivery tools.
Her passion for community engagement has led to volunteer roles with the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, FIGMENT Project, and New York Sun Works, where she supported environmental education and grassroots urban planning initiatives. She also contributes her expertise as an architectural design consultant to the Urban Educational Project Museum in East Orange, New Jersey, assisting with spatial planning and guiding grant efforts to help the organization expand its outreach and community impact. In Bloomfield, New Jersey, Josefina actively volunteers on civic initiatives, serving on local committees including the Open Space Trust Fund and the Fiesta Latina Committee, where she supports cultural programming and neighborhood development.
Josefina currently lives and works in Bloomfield, New Jersey, designing spaces that reflect purpose, expression, and a lasting sense of place.
