Mary Yenchko Greening

I started my career as a Web Designer and Producer back in 1995 when I was managing the Technical Communications Department at a software development company in Austin, Texas. I learned html (those were the days before the fancy editors) in an effort to produce a Web site for the company. Here is my resume.

Interactive Solutions Manager

I have been developing and maintaining Internet and Intranet Web sites since 1995. I work with clients to develop web, SEO, and marketing strategies for their products and web identities. I work quickly with clients and am able to effectively communicate design objectives to web programmers and artists. Many of my projects require coordinating client objectives with graphic artists, html developers, flash developers and script writers. Who We Do will give you a sampling of some of my work.
