01
Selectivity
I do not work with everyone. Each project is evaluated individually, by technical, strategic and human fit. When I decline, I do so honestly.
I am Filipe Macau. Over 15 years making things worth looking at.
Building websites, managing social media, coordinating projects and everything that comes with them. Your trusted technician.
Years spent creating and developing solutions for businesses, brands and professionals across very different fields. Effective solutions, that work and that make the difference.
The story did not begin in 2009. It began before.
I grew up surrounded by graphic arts before I knew what design was. My father owned Macaus, Lda, and it was among colour proofs, type and paper that I learned to look at things closely, long before I knew their names.
I never followed a single path. I started in design, but I was pulled toward video, photography, the web and IT as each project demanded. Instead of boxing myself in, I learned to bridge all of them.
From my father I inherited more than a taste for graphic arts, I inherited a way of being. I watched him treat every job as his own, put his face to it and answer for everything, and that is how I still work today. I remain the same person from the start to the end of every project: no middlemen, no fine print, side by side with whoever hires me.

The five principles
What guides every decision, every project, every client relationship.
02
Single point of contact
Each project is led personally. When I need specialised support, I work with a trusted team coordinated by me, with full transparency to the client about who is involved. No anonymous outsourcing.
03
Independent recommendations
I have no commercial partnerships with platforms, suppliers or software that would bias technical advice. I recommend what serves the client, not what pays commission.
04
Follow-up that does not end at delivery
Each project includes 30 days of follow-up. Recurring clients have response priority. I do not disappear after delivery.
05
Documented technical honesty
Each technical decision is explained and documented - the client knows the why, not just the how. Without unnecessary jargon.
Those that left a mark
Not always the biggest, but the ones that marked me.
Sports coverage (Futsal, E-Sports, Paintball)
Estoril Praia
A club that entrusted its technical work to an independent professional from outside its structure. It confirmed the path made sense - and is worth pursuing.
Complete event coverage (streaming + photo + video + editing)
SIT Porto
The most demanding technical challenge of my career to date - live streaming, video and photo capture and the final highlight video. The trust placed in me and the team by the organisation was decisive for the result.
Workshop on photography, video and social media
Tem Pêros / APPACDM Setúbal
A workshop that fully pulled me toward the human side. Teaching people with different abilities, all so eager to learn - sharing knowledge is, in fact, one of the things that gives me the most satisfaction.
Beyond work
What I do when I am not working says as much about me as the rest.
Music
I listen, go to concerts and am always hunting for new names.
Games
A game on the computer is how I switch off from the day.
F1 & Rally
I follow Formula 1 and Rally, especially the Portugal round.
Nature
Getting lost in nature, with no clock to answer to, is what rests me most.
Content creation
For five years I have made travel vlogs and shared behind-the-scenes. Something I want to grow.
Trust is not promised - it is demonstrated.
You are not contracting an isolated intervention here. You are choosing the professional who will accompany your project for as long as it needs to exist.
