About

👩🏻‍💻 Product designer, coach, and builder with 10+ years of experience in design and research. I've been fortunate to work at 4 different startups over the past 6 years, currently leading product discovery and design at Wiza.

My coaching approach combines strategic thinking with practical implementation - I enjoy helping others find this balance, too.

Through my work, I've learned valuable lessons about building research processes, fostering user-centric cultures, measuring design impact, and stakeholder management and thought leadership.

It is my mission as a coach to help you build your confidence in the areas you are most interested in developing. I especially enjoy supporting:
- Individual contributors in Product or Design looking to grow their impact
- Designers working to strengthen their research and communication skills
- Professionals navigating career transitions or seeking new challenges
- Teams working on complex problems that require both empathy and strategy

If you're looking for a supportive partner in your professional growth journey, I'd love to connect. Book an introductory call and let's explore how we might work together to help you achieve your goals.

What happens when you start

You tell Mary your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Mary reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
