I've spent 10 years working in Design with the last 7 of those years working with early-stage start-ups. I've always been a generalist of sorts, knowing a little bit about a lot in addition to deep knowledge in Product Design, User Research, and Product Strategy.
I'm a deeply feeling, loyal, nurturing – seeker and lifelong learner. I have always been creative and felt called to use that creativity to assist entrepreneurs in bringing their ideas into reality.
I spent the last 2 years at ideas42 Ventures - a studio supporting entrepreneurs of color in building new software ventures aimed at alleviating the cost of poverty. Now, I'm an advisor and consultant to early-stage founders, reach out if you're interested in consulting work.
Contrary to popular belief, I believe the professional is personal. We are all humans working with other humans doing their best at humaning. This is why in addition to my design expertise, I've spent a great deal of time learning about and honing my skills in facilitation, conflict resolution, and leadership.

5 out of 5 stars
I sought mentorship with Mary to gain guidance on my freelance projects, as I was the sole designer. Mary has helped me immensely in defining the scope of my projects, applying for jobs, updating my portfolio, writing proposals and so much more. I highly recommend Mary to anyone seeking mentorship in the product design space.
5 out of 5 stars
Mary was a wonderful mentor. She listened to me and crafted a plan for our meetings that was tailored to what I was trying to accomplish. She was insightful and encouraging. Even after we stopped meeting she would reach out to check-in and see how things were going. She did not try to force her own agenda, but listened to what I wanted to accomplish and added her own helpful tips and suggestions. She was also appropriately candid with her feedback which I found very helpful.
5 out of 5 stars
Mary has extensive experience as a designer at start-ups. She has worked with startups as an early employee through sale /exit. She has insight about starting or growing a business and advance your user experience design career.
