Hands-on product design leader
I’m Mary Ann Saulong Lewis, a product design leader with 15+ years of experience shaping consumer and enterprise products across web, mobile, and connected platforms.
I specialize in turning complex, ambiguous problems into clear product direction—and staying close enough to the work to help bring that direction to life.
My work spans product strategy, research, interaction design, design systems, and 0→1 experiences. I’ve led teams and cross-functional initiatives while continuing to design, prototype, test, and shape the details that make products usable, scalable, and ready to ship.
How I Work
I work across strategy, systems, and craft—shaping the direction of a product while staying close to the details that make it usable, scalable, and ready to ship.
Create Clarity
I turn ambiguity into clear, focused product design direction.
Build Alignment
I align business goals, user needs, and system constraints into UX decisions that ship.
Design to Ship
I connect scalable systems with hands-on UI, partnering with product and engineering to deliver measurable outcomes.
