Hello there, I am

Mary Gansallo

a UX Designer and Web Developer.

Its nice to meet you.

I am a UX Designer and Front end Developer with more than 3 years of industry work experience.

I build bridges between users and businesses with human centered innovations for apps and products. I am a people-person that thrives in collaborative environments. I absolutely love people watching. Observing everyday interactions often reveals subtle details about how we relate to the natural world.

I currently live in Seattle, Washington and work for Microsoft as a Design Developer. My love for coding led me to UX design and further exploring the intersection of design and technology.

Web Design Process

UX Research

I ask lots of annoying questions. Typically, lots of "Why's?". Although I ask lots of questions, I also listen and watch. I use empathic design techniques throughout my process in order to reveal the values and aspirations of users.

design & Testing

You will probably never get the best design at first try. After all, design is iterative. In a first design meeting I typically get users engaged in a design thinking exercise.

Development

Design now days is often about being a hybrid thinker. We need to be able to connect the dots between what’s culturally desirable, technically feasible, and viable from a business point of view. I use my knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks to manipulate website designs and web content.
