Marco Mezzavilla

I design and build things for the web.
Started as a designer, now I spend most of my time in code. This is where I collect what I'm working on.

Timeline

Circa 2003

I "played" Pierrick Calvez's Days in a Day, a kind of visual adventure in Flash. I realized that I wanted to work in the web.

2006

I started by imitating what others were building on the web.

2010

I came across the work of people who have inspired me a lot to form ideas about design and the web: Jeffrey Zeldman, Jason Santa Maria, Shaun Inmann, Jeremy Keith, Ethan Marcotte. And then Paul Jarvis, Valerio Proietti, Lea Verou, Chris Coyier, Tim Van Damme, Sara Soueidan and many others.

2012

I first heard about Ruby on Rails, and after a few years about Laravel.

2014

I co-founded Iperstudio, a tiny collective of developers and designers. Iperstudio still exists after 10 years (and a hundred projects).

2015

Flex is an established reality, and the first grid drafts are making their way in. I get hooked on CSS.

2020

I keep experimenting with various JS libraries and frameworks for both work and fun: Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix

2024

I start working on in-house products, both with Iperstudio and on my own. A shift from client work to building things from scratch.

2025

I dive into LLMs and AI, experimenting with how they can reshape the way I design and build for the web.
