FILIPE FREITAS

GRAPHIC . WEB . UI / UX

DESIGNER

Father of a crazy little monster, I’m a graphic and front end developer from Madeira Island, in the middle of the Atlantic.

I like technology, movies, videogames and all types of music. I fell in love with web and interaction in the good old Flash days.

I am constantly looking to improve myself and my skills!
