Welcome! 👋
I'm Acacia, and I know, it’s a funny one to say. Try a-kas-sea-a, like 'a cassio' watch.
I was the classic "designer because I like to draw" uni student, but with time I've leaned more and more into anything digital. The exciting bits of my career started with an exchange program to the US, where I interned in a video API start-up and learned how to say "y'all". After that, I went back to Brazil and worked remotely from Sao Paulo so that I could finish my Graphic Design BFA. Nowadays, I find myself working for fintech company and exploring what South London has to offer.
Professionally, I love the good and bad bits of being an end-to-end product designer - feedback sessions, stakeholder management, constraints... all of it. Privately, I enjoy jumping deep into a new topic and becoming a short-time expert on something that catches my eye. That means you can find me knitting, cycling, or falling from my snowboard in my free time.
I hope you enjoy my work, and feel free to say hi! My email is acacia.p.a@gmail.com
