Product Design Leader · AI-Leveraged

I make complex products feel simple.

15+ years turning messy, high-stakes platforms into intuitive, premium product experiences for AT&T, Comcast, Samsung, eBay, Sony, and founder-led teams. Strategy to shipped, fast, with AI in the loop.

One company.
Strategy to execution.

Positioning, brand, market experience, product, and platform.

MLX is acquisition intelligence for people who buy companies. I took it from nothing to a live product with paying users. No agency, no second designer, no handoff.

Platform Design · Cross-Team Alignment

Case Studies

Two enterprise platforms untangled. Silos closed, teams aligned, and AI that shows its sources.

From scattered files to one record

The work lived in inboxes. Now AI ingests and links it, shows where every field came from, and five roles run one operation instead of five versions.

From eight products to one platform

Eight teams, eight vocabularies, one shared model. It aligned them, and made every access decision inspectable.

Mary Salvatera

Hands-on design leadership. Strategy set, work shipped.

I build and lead high-performing product design teams while staying close to the craft. My lane is the "hard stuff": complex, high-stakes products across enterprise and consumer product experiences, made to feel effortless, intuitive, and premium.

AI is woven into how I work, giving you the strategic thinking of a senior leader with the hands-on speed of a small team. U.S. patents. Proven business results.

Complex Products Made Simple.

How I work

Systems thinking, from ambiguity to simplicity.

01 · DISCOVER

Map the mess

Journeys, flows, and the real problem under the ask.

02 · FRAME

Set the vision

A north star and a system teams can build against.

03 · PROTOTYPE

Make it real

AI-leveraged and fast, concept to interactive proof.

04 · SHIP

Land the outcome

Design systems, measurable results, teams that keep shipping.

Beyond the MVP. I build for the MLE.

Minimum Loved Experience, faster to market with a product customers genuinely value, measured by engagement, validated by customer behavior, and iteratively refined through data.

Higher Adoption + Lower Tech Debt = Better Business Outcomes

MVP asks: Can we ship it?
MLE asks: Will anyone care?
The “minimum” isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about identifying the earliest experience that is genuinely valuable enough to create engagement, learning, and business momentum.

Let's build something that feels simple.
