Being a Serial Hobbyist with Hana Acabado of Filipinta Beauty

In this episode, we chat with Hana Acabado—a Filipino author, illustrator, packaging designer, and mom of two—about how she brings her whole self into her work. Hana is the founder of Filipinta Beauty, a playful, imaginative makeup brand that celebrates Filipino culture and serves as a creative playground for her ideas. She shares how her experience as an immigrant shapes both her art and entrepreneurship, and how she stays rooted in authenticity while navigating the beauty industry. We also talk about her children’s book My Mama is a Work of Art, which explores tattoos, kindness, and acceptance. Named one of the Top 25 Filipino Creatives of 2024, Hana opens up about storytelling, identity, and how honoring your culture through creativity can build powerful connections.
