Mary-Ann Trieu

I'm a designer with 5+ years of experience and I'm proficient in executing the full UX design life cycle—from preliminary research through to journey mapping, persona development, prototyping, and usability testing. I have worked in both startup environments and large enterprise environments so I have experience with collaborating in smaller, agile teams, and larger teams with many cross-functional stakeholders. I'm able to lead, work collaboratively, and work independently.
