My Approach
I prioritize collaboration and open communication to make informed design decisions.
I'm a full-stack designer with over 8 years of professional experience building websites and working on brand strategy projects both as an in-house designer and independently. I've successfully worked on websites, graphic design projects, and design strategy for companies in the heavy civil construction, healthcare, and retail industries.
Goal-Oriented
I’m always focused on the big picture. When we establish clear goals, it drives the entire design process forward with focus and clear metrics for success.
Attention to Detail
I believe in quality craftsmanship and strive to imbue everything that I create with high attention to detail without cutting corners or using cookie-cutter templates.
Direct Communication
When you work with me, you’re talking to the person directly producing your work. My process involves honest communication, collaboration, and transparency.

Mary-Ann did a great job on our website. We are very pleased with the way it turned out. Her focus and vision for what we needed was very helpful in the design and implementation. She has great communication and is very prompt in resolving any issues that would arise. She is multi-talented in all the aspects of the development, pictures, and videography. She brought our site to a whole new level.
Working with Mary-Ann is a wonderful experience. She is kind, professional, and solution based. I happily recommend her to anyone interested in straightforward web solutions to complex problems, and I value her ability to present options that reduce development time and save money.
From the initial planning and scheduling the timeline, it was a smooth process with plenty of communication which I really appreciated. She absolutely met and exceed my expectations for what I had envisioned the website to be.
Mary-Ann was a pleasure to deal with and made the process very simple. Mary-Ann’s knowledge and experience working with construction companies was huge. I believe the result of completing our website will have many benefits including less turnover, better recruiting, and more sales.
Working with Mary-Ann was great! She was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. The website was created in a timely manner. She was very patient with comments, questions and revisions.
What a great experience! We are so happy with the website and our overall experience. I enjoyed participating in the process and felt we made the right choice by working with Mary-Ann! Highly recommend!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mary-Ann on a few website rebuilds over the past two years and she continually succeeds at every request we send her way. The perfect blend of independent creativity and collaboration, Mary-Ann takes design concepts and develops them to fruition, all while adding her personal touch. I’ve already recommended Mary-Ann to several of my colleagues and will continue to do so as she consistently exceeds our expectations and provides reliable support no matter the project.
Mary-Ann is hands down the best contractor I’ve used throughout my marketing career. She has the ability to collaborate on a vision, finding ways to improve the output and make the end result work even harder for her client and the end consumer.
From our first inquiry to the day our website launched, Mary-Ann made this entire process so seamless. Her level of organization and clarity of communication is absolutely top notch, which is something you get from day one till launch day.
Mary-Ann was incredibly helpful (and patient) in walking us through really consolidating all of our ideas and creating a streamlined and robust site. She is always very responsive and ready to help whenever we need it.
