mazza___________

Let's start from the first vector: I was born in Bologna [ IT ]

I studied software development in school. After school, I always enjoyed and became passionate about designing with Photoshop and After Effects

I started creating websites and apps, designing and developing them for friends, my uncle, school projects, and even just for fun

I began university in the Netherlands, following the Computer Science course, but I dropped out because I realized my true passion is design

"It's like all of my life everyone has always told me 'you're a shoe'. And then today I just stopped and I said 'What if I don't want to be a shoe? What if I want to be a purse, you know? Or, a hat?'" - Rachel in Friends

Thanks to this, I have that extra gear like in bicycles: I can also develop and understand that peculiar language spoken by developers

I returned to Italy and began working

There's no problem I can't solve, except maybe world peace, global warming (but Greta is working on that), and resisting the temptation of a gin tonic on Friday night. You should know, "nothing good happens after 2am" as How I Met Your Mother teaches us

APRIL 2022 - CURRENT

Stellantis

UX/UI Designer

I've also failed, you would have never guessed of course, but let's be honest (even though I am Mazza, not Honest)

I'm on a higher level, instead of just designing, I also take care of managing, thinking and deciding. I have much more responsibility.
"I'm in charge of thinking of things before people know they need them"
- Roger Sterling in Mad Men

Throughout my experience, I've been both the last wheel of the wagon and the resource tasked with managing teams. I've worked with clients ranging from the hairdresser down the street to multinational corporations (both, literally)

I work with a few small companies, some on a project basis, others now on a steady basis for a few years. Finger-lickin' good designs!

Even during the most intense brainstorming sessions, I try to entertain everyone with a well-placed joke (or as others would say, 'that only makes me laugh')

FUTURE?

Within a maximum of 5 years, but I hope much sooner, I would like to have another experience abroad. I feel the need and desire for it, both personally and professionally

I want to start my own agency with two fantastic friends I have been working with for a long time

At the same time, I'm looking for a new and exciting experience in an agency/company because I believe I can contribute a lot but also learn a lot - Maybe it's you who's reading - It takes two to tango
