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.
