Mary Sargent

@marysargent

Senior Product Designer with 6+ years in UX, creating intuitive, impactful, user-centered designs.

United States

I am a Product Designer with over six years of experience specializing in user-centered, research-driven design across digital platforms. My career includes impactful roles at PlayStation, Webflow, Vox Media, and The Washington Post, where I’ve consistently contributed to high-profile projects that prioritize usability and design consistency. My recent work at PlayStation focused on standardizing UX across Partner products, collaborating closely with product leads and engineers to enhance platform coherence and ease of use. Previously, at Webflow, I applied a systems-first approach to scale the CMS experience and optimize the Design System, while at Vox Media, I led the Editorial Tools team to improve content creation workflows for editorial brands.

Beyond my professional achievements, I am passionate about accessible and inclusive design, striving to create digital experiences that serve diverse user needs. I actively mentor aspiring designers through platforms like CareerFoundry and ADPList, sharing insights and guidance to help shape the next generation of UX professionals. Outside of design, I enjoy reading, writing fiction, and exploring ways to blend storytelling with interactive media. I’m always excited to collaborate with like-minded professionals and tackle complex design challenges that push the boundaries of user experience.
