About Diego Sarmiento
Writer, engineer, and quiet provocateur exploring the intersection of design, emotion, and human connection. His work blends data and desire, logic and poetry—building bridges between technology and the body.
A Path Through Many Worlds
Born in Venezuela, now an American citizen based in Florida’s northeast coast, Diego has lived and worked in five countries. Each one left a trace—a new language, a new kind of silence, a new way to listen.
From engineering teams in Silicon Valley to independent creative studios, he has spent over a decade helping products and people rediscover presence through design.
Soft Design, Hard Truths
Diego calls his philosophy “emotional technology”—the art of making systems that breathe. Whether he’s writing The Intimacy Code or leading workshops, his focus stays the same: teaching the language of empathy in digital form.
He believes intimacy isn’t fragile—it’s a framework. Something we can design for, practice, and sustain.
Most mornings start barefoot, notebook beside coffee, listening to the rhythm of the Atlantic.
