Hey there!
My name is Mary and I am a visual strategist (among many other titles). I call myself this because it best describes my passion:
to strategically utilize my visuals for social good.
Whether that's designing an app to share cooking recipes, or an app to help bird owners care for their beloved avian friends, I find fulfillment in creating unique user experiences to help people navigate everyday life. It's my strategic approach to connecting with people through graphic design.
I grew up in Brockton, Massachusetts, and discovered that I have a curiosity for science. I tried my hand at biology at Brandeis University my freshman year of undergrad, learning that it wasn't for me, and that I am more curious about computers. While I appreciate natural science at its ethical core, I wanted to get my hands on technology.. but in a creative way. I found my home in the graphic design department at Boston University, where I was able to explore all kinds of digital (and traditional) methods of expression. I was even able to continue my appreciation for natural science in my thesis, The Bottom of My Garden.
