ABOUT MARCO RIZZA

I\'m Marco, a 23y/o Digital Product Designer and a Front-End/Mobile Developer whose mission is to create accurate products in both design and software features.~ My passion for technology started at 6 years old, when my father bought me my first computer. At 10 years I discovered internet. At 12, I became crazy about electronics and mechanics. I hadn’t enough money to buy a ready-made LEGO differential on Internet, so I built one using my brother’s mechanical engineering notes. At 13, I discovered the application world and started taking a few Objective-C courses. At 14 I completely fell in love with app design. I made a contest to enter and, by winning it, I became one of the few 14-year-olds on the platform. I got to know people much bigger than me and, thanks to their constructive criticism, I had the opportunity to improve myself. At 15 I got a lot of work proposals, among which from some neophyte and now famous app Musixmatch, Bending Spoons and 3drops. I decided to reject all the offers to grow professionally whit my only strength. In 2015, I entered the ranking of the 365 best app designers in the world. In the same year, I created the Text Quick Reply, a concept which gave inspiration to various designers around the world and is now applied to every application. In 2019 I entered the top 50 Italian designers chart. Now I\'m building my future.
