About
I’m Josue — a design leader with 13 + years of product experience. I care a lot about simplifying very complex processes into simple human-focused interactions. Currently based in Los Angeles.
Most recently worked at Heard, the financial back office for mental health therapists. Before Heard, I worked for Peachy — a startup that focused on simplifying payments for patients and their medical practitioners.
Prior to Peachy — I worked at GoGuardian, a K-12 edtech startup, where I had the opportunity to work across the full suite of 6 products. Most notably, I worked on a threat and violence behavioral detection feature.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work in fintech, edtech, health tech, SaaS, and customer service sectors. I’ve gained experience at companies of all sizes, from seed-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies.
I’m interested in design leadership roles or senior staff/principal product designer roles.
