Nice to meet you

I'm Mariah, UX Designer

At the crossroads of design, research, and user experience, my work is all about creating with intention—turning complex challenges into simple, thoughtful solutions that enhance the user experience and make a real difference.
Design speaks louder with data behind it

Positive impact doesn't need to be flashy

Most recently, I spent a significant amount of time working as an outside contractor for Amazon Robotics. The work included a lot of research, data viz, and dashboard design. While I can't dig too much more into this one as it's under a pretty tight NDA, please take a peek at some of my other public work.

I got my start in the world on UX design in 2018, and I haven't looked back. I've dipped my toes into product, research, and even graphic design where I've learned all about balancing business goals and user needs in all kinds of demographics.

I'm a homebody outside of work, so you can catch me reading a good book, walking my dogs, or soaking up the sun in my backyard.

If you want to learn more about me or my skills, please reach out!
