A little bit more
about me.
Designer and writer who loves a story.
Hi! I'm Mary.
I'm a designer and writer specializing in product design in NYC.
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a background in psychology, art and design, and creative writing in 2023. Over the last year, I was the User Experience Design and Digital Marketing Manager at Haricot Vert, a custom jewelry and craft company in Brooklyn. Now I'm finding joy in consulting students in writing by day, and experimenting creatively as a freelance product designer by night.
Why product design?
I am fascinated by the intersection of people, technology, design, and the media, and am invested in understanding human thought and behavior, improving people’s lives (and my own!) with design and technology, and creating change, connection, and compassion through writing and storytelling. I am particularly passionate about using user experience design to create captivating and intuitive visual experiences to complement compelling written narratives: in my opinion, the best way to tell a powerful story and build the most useful product.
Where can you find me when I'm not working?
In my free time, I love to explore new places and try new things (and rate it for all my friends to see). Otherwise, you will find me curled up on the couch with a cup of tea, devouring a book or binging a TV show. You may also hear me ramble about fashion, the technology I'm currently in awe of, or my latest well-being fixation (at the moment: yoga). You can see more of what I'm up to here or in the links below.
