We are a small team that’s focused on putting our best effort into everything we do—when you work with us, you’re talking to the people actually producing the work. No account managers or layers of hierarchy—just open communication and transparency.

We produce high-quality, unique designs that don’t rely on shortcuts, templates, or short-lived trends. We approach each project with the goal of tailoring the best solution specifically for your needs. Our process is thoughtful and open, with weekly check-ins to always keep you in the loop.

Our #1 goal is to make sure that you feel confident, informed, and heard during every step of the process.

Mary-Ann Zykin

Founder & Principal Designer

At Zykin Design, I lead with a vision to modernize and refresh brands, helping businesses align their identity through cohesive design systems and digital personas. My expertise lies in understanding the unique challenges of each client I work with, from designing intuitive e-commerce flows to crafting dynamic websites that showcase the culture and innovation within the construction industry.

Before Zykin Design, I worked as a successful independent (aka freelance) designer for over eight years, after previously working as an in-house designer. This foundation allowed me to collaborate with companies across various industries, including heavy civil construction, restaurants, and retail, delivering engaging websites and thoughtful design strategies.
