About

Hi, I’m Paloma Castro Coutinho Hamilton, a graphic designer based in Hamilton, Ontario, specializing in UI/UX design and product-focused web applications. Since 2021, I solve complex problems through user-centered, iterative design, creating UX specifications, user flows, and responsive mockups with developer-ready handoffs using Figma and Adobe Photoshop.

I collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver usability improvements, scalable internal tools, and intuitive digital experiences that boost user engagement and product performance. I bring experience designing dashboards, internal tools, branding, and marketing materials, with a strong focus on accessibility and collaboration with developers to translate design into polished, accessible interfaces.
