Hi! I'm Mary Surivong, your next UI/UX Designer.

The ability to empathize with individuals' emotions lays the groundwork for exceptional UI/UX design. I hold the crucial skills to construct and uphold this belief, from in-depth UX research to captivating high-fidelity prototypes.

Get To Know Me

II’m a UX/UI designer passionate about creating end-to-end, user-centered products by deeply listening to and empathizing with users’ needs. I believe every product, large or small, becomes impactful when designed with compassion and purpose.

I’ve honed my skills through 700+ hours of projects and assignments in Springboard’s UX/UI Design Career Track, where I earned my certificate in UX/UI Design. Alongside this, I bring a unique perspective from my background as an assistant director at a Montessori preschool, where I developed strong problem-solving, organization, and communication skills.

Now, I’m excited to transition into a full-time UX/UI design role in industries such as agriculture, climate change, environmental, energy, or entertainment & leisure, where thoughtful design can spark meaningful change. I also hold a B.S. in Family and Human Development from Arizona State University.

When I’m not exploring new layouts or experimenting with color palettes, you’ll find me playing cozy games on my Nintendo Switch, reading mystery novels, or discovering new restaurants.
