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.
In September 2024, I founded Zykin Design, a design studio that brings your vision to life.
While this website highlights my journey as a solo designer, Zykin Design is where my team and I now offer a broader range of services, from modern web design and SEO to comprehensive branding support.
This website will transform into a space to present my work as an independent creative, showcasing my illustration work, photography, and archived client work.
If you're looking to elevate your brand or create an engaging online presence, check out the Zykin Design website to explore our services and get in touch with us for new project inquiries.
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!
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.
Mary-Ann is very professional and makes the process of developing a website seamless, from an initial mapped out schedule of events to creative processes and advice. She has got it all! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a refreshed website, and look forward to working with her again in the near future.
From inception to final delivery, Mary-Ann’s efficiency, dedication and end results exceeded our expectations. I’ve never been prouder to showcase a new site to coworkers and clients.
Our team greatly enjoyed working with Mary-Ann to rebuild our website. Her project management skills made the entire process enjoyable and efficient. From start to finish, Mary-Ann exemplified creativity and professionalism. It was a pleasure to partner with her!
Any decisions for new website design is overwhelming but working with Mary-Ann made all of that a breeze! She did a great job listening to our ideas, and constructing it to more than we expected.
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.
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.
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.
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.
