Bio
Kate Wolf
I'm struck by the range of Mary's brain and creative gusto. We're wrapping up a long-term, complex site redesign and migration. I've watched Mary construct techniques to gather information, then generate sensitive and fitting strategy; apply the abstract principles to execute on content and UX; then tangle with the minutia of URL mapping; and all the while, instinctively communicating with nuance, diplomacy and poise. That’s the whole deal! She never loses sight of the point. She always has the wherewithal to dig deeper. She stands up for ideas. Tireless. Innovative. Hilarious. Unflappable. Collaborative. Focused. Balanced. Mary Fenton is without a doubt one of my all-time favorites over my 25+ years in this business of production.
