About Me

Hello, I’m Mary! I’m curiously engaged in making complex experiences easy and accessible.

With over a decade of experience designing digital products across web and mobile, I specialize in translating complex workflows into intuitive, scalable experiences for diverse users in marketplace SaaS and B2B2C environments. I bring deep expertise in end-to-end UX strategy, mixed-methods research, interaction design, and design systems. 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’m known for strong cross-functional collaboration and for using user-centered design to align stakeholders around a clear product direction.

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

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.
