Mary launched her career in design nine years ago after graduating with a BA from Sarah Lawrence College in 1992 where she studied fine art and art history. Mary's interest in the arts led her to ARTnews magazine where she acted as Assistant Art Director. From publishing, she moved into advertising where she specialized in typographic design at J. Walter Thompson. Her principal accounts included Clairol, Kodak, Rolex, Sprint and The Wall Street Journal. From print, Mary moved into interactive joining the design team at Messner, Vetere, Berger, McNamee, Schmetterer. At MVBMS, Mary continued to work on both print and interactive accounts including MCI, Philips and Volvo, helping the agency establish their presence as a robust multimedia company.

In 1994, Mary formed Cyber Diva Media, her interactive design company and Peep Show - the collaborative artists' ezine. After a two year publication, Mary dissolved Peep Show to focus exclusively on her graphic design business. Initially working with a few small interactive companies, Cyber Diva Media quickly grew its client roster to include IVillage.com, Eagle River Interactive (now Agency.com), Jordan, McGrath, Case and Taylor and TheKnot.com.

Today, Cyber Diva Media continues to serve artists, advertising agencies, dotcoms, publishing companies and other small businesses on a diverse range of projects.

Mary's work has appeared in Artbyte, Better Homes and Gardens and Time Out New York.
