About Diego Sarmiento

A Path Through Many Worlds
Born in Venezuela and now an American citizen based on Florida’s northeast coast, Diego has lived and worked across five countries. Each one left a trace—a new language, a new kind of silence, a new way to listen.
From engineering teams building high-scale systems to independent creative studios, he’s spent over a decade helping products—and people—rediscover presence through design.
Soft Design, Hard Truths
Diego calls his philosophy emotional technology: the craft of making systems that breathe. Whether he’s writing The Intimacy Code or facilitating workshops, the focus stays the same: translating empathy into product language—copy, flows, boundaries, and tone.
Intimacy isn’t fragile—it’s a framework. Something we can design for, practice, and sustain.
What this work tends to touch

Most mornings start barefoot, notebook beside coffee, listening to the rhythm of the Atlantic.
