About

Balancing craft, clarity, and curiosity.

I'm Paloma, a Brazilian-Japanese creative technologist exploring the interplay of storytelling, code, and culture. With a background in interaction design and front-end development, I translate complex ideas into intuitive digital experiences.

Whether building a brand system, designing a product, or prototyping a new interaction, I love partnering with teams who believe design can be both functional and poetic.
