My name is Fernando Soares, a self-taught designer with 13 years of experience.
Driven by curiosity, it all started when I was 12 years old. I learned the basics of HTML by writing tags in Notepad, saving them as .htm files, and viewing them in the browser. In the same way, I learned to design for the web using Fireworks, slicing layouts to turn them into web pages. In almost all my jobs, I worked on both design and coding, but now my focus is on design. I have also built websites, blogs, e-commerce sites, etc., using WordPress.
I believe that my knowledge of Front-End development helps me design real-world interfaces and solve problems with a holistic view of the product.

I design interfaces from concept to finish.
- Research;
