About Me

Hello, I’m Mary! I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10 years of experience in crafting thoughtful and effective user interfaces for web and mobile applications. I’ve lead design initiatives from initial concepts to launch, using thorough user research with key business objectives and metrics. I leverage AI within my design tools to improve my workflows and efficiency. I thrive in collaborative cross-functional teams using data-informed design decisions that produce successful measurable outcomes.

I love well-seasoned vegetarian food, NPR Music Tiny Desk concerts, live music, and being inspired by forward-thinking UX design articles. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, I’ve grown to love being cold while watching my daughter play ice hockey.

MY GUIDING PRINCIPLES

User-Centered & Business Harmony
I focus on understanding user needs alongside business goals to create positive experiences and opportunities.

Systems-Thinking
I dig deep to uncover root problems, designing solutions that achieve intended outcomes.

Collaborative Synergy
I enjoy a cross-functional approach that creates new ideas and strong motivation towards shared goals.

Iterative & Adaptive
I ask the right questions, test ideas, and pivot as needed to find the best solutions.

Growth Mindset
I’m pursuing AI-focused professional development to optimize my UX practice. I see AI as a tool for enhancement, not a replacement.
