Meet Mary-Ann
Designer, Developer, Photographer, Artist, Gardener, Pilates Instructor (In Training)
I have multiple passions, each one allowing me to explore who I am and helping to inform the others. I love to dive deep on the things that give my life a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and beauty.
Zykin Design →
I have been an independent designer and web developer for over 12 years, working with amazing construction, industrial, and retail clients across the country.
Photography →
Professionally, I shoot photo and video for construction and industrial companies looking to tell their story and showcase their work. Personally, I love capturing the beauty of everyday life, new places, and nature.
Budlet Garden →
I am slowly working on building a productive backyard garden at my home in Houston, TX (Zone 9b), and I’m documenting the journey through photography and YouTube vlogs.
Currently Pursuing:
Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Certification
I am currently working on getting comprehensively certified to teach pilates through Balanced Body. Pilates has played a major role in my life since 2014, and practicing consistently has helped me to overcome and avoid the damage that comes with a sedentary desk job.
There is nothing like a solid session to melt away your worries, bring you into the present moment, and move your body in ways that carry into everyday life. As I continue down the journey toward certification, I am practice teaching private clients in my home studio and I’m hoping to start teaching a studio class soon!

About Me
My driving force is a commitment to craft & continual learning.
I love the process—the journey is often the best part of a project, rather than the end result. And I get deep satisfaction through working with my hands and problem-solving, often initiating and thinking through ideas with my sketchbook, notebook, and mechanical pencil. Becoming a designer was a natural fit for me, and for the past twelve years, I’ve worked independently with businesses large and small across the United States, helping bring their vision to life.
