Mary believes that to provide the best user experience with a product or Web site, you have to know the user: who they are, what they want, how they work, and what their goals are in using your product.

She received a Master of Science from the University of Washington where she focused on user-centered design and human-computer interaction.

Mary specializes in conducting research during the early phases of design or redesign and defining user requirements in order to craft prototypes and design iterations.

Through her company, Deaton Interactive Design, Mary conducts usability research for a broad set of industries including real estate, education, software and telecommunications. Her clients include Microsoft, Amazon.com, Global Crossing, IHS Energy, Mimeo.com, WestCom, NextTone, and the University of Washington.

She is an associate of both Rocket Communications and SodaBlue Partners.
