Hey!πŸ‘‹

I'm Felipe RabaΓ§a, a brazilian currently living in Lisbon, Portugal. Having recently finished my Master's in Interaction Design, I enjoy everything related to technology, such as games, web design and photography. I'm also passionate about interactive media, mainly how people use those technologies and how they are changing and molding our cities.
