Jody Haneke
CEO
Jody honed his leadership and self defense skills during the good ole cocaine cowboy days of 80s Miami. After a stretch as a “pilot”, he went legit and founded Haneke Design. When not acting as our fearless leader, he can be found pruning himself and working on his latest book: “A Prepper’s Guide to Traveling in Florida”. Say hello to his little friend: Tootsie the Bulldog.

Mark Smith
Director of Development Services
What do you call it when you combine a love for knitting, a knack for coding and the need for speed? Well, we’re not sure either, but we know it looks a little something like this. Don’t let his tough, leathery exterior intimidate you though, he’s quite the softie. In fact, Mark is best known for showing up to Bike Week in Daytona with freshly knitted socks for all the other men in the midst of their mid-life crises.

Mary Kate Downing
Software Development Project Manager
Mary Kate is our in-house hippie, but don’t get her confused with the modern-day “hipsters” or she’ll use her crystals against you. Her wardrobe consists strictly of bellbottoms, vibrant colors and a whole lot of denim, and she keeps our office smelling like patchouli, but we won’t complain because it could smell like something else. How does she handle all those projects? Easy…. it’s all in the power of the flower.

Gillian Cline
Project Coordinator
Some loved it, some hated it, and some are still living it…. like Gillian. For her, Y2K wasn’t just a phase, it’s a lifestyle. She finally swapped out her iPod for an iPhone, but don’t let her fool you… she’s still holding on to what she refers to as the “glory days”. When she’s not overseeing various software development projects, she’s coordinating the comeback of low rise jeans, velour tracksuits and belly chains. Oh, and she definitely didn’t call the paparazzi on herself.

Don Gillespie
Resource Manager
Don has spent way too much time watching Bob Ross. And while he’s not exactly a trained neo-classicalist, he stays brushed up on his creative skills to keep things in perspective. Normally he’s managing our resources, but lately, he’s been glued to the canvas, sipping milky tea, wearing too much denim, and working on his moderately abstract landscapes. If you’re interested in his work, you can buy his prints on Etsy.

Aaron Abell
Project Strategist
After several years as a production assistant for the Fast and Furious series (see his name in the credits for 2FA$T4U), Aaron set out on his own to start a YouTube channel dedicated to his real passion: cataloging and critiquing Michael Bay's explosions. His goal for 2023 is to get 5 subscribers that aren’t his mother.

Malaz Idris
Junior Product Strategist
The ever illusive Malaz can often be found sleuthing around the Haneke Design library. She stays under the radar, but we have no doubt she’ll eventually launch a crypto-startup that may or may not be the next FTX. Regardless, we all have faith she’ll pocket a few billion along the way.

Kelia West
Senior UX Designer
Kelia is a designer skilled at creating “dark patterns”. She regularly manipulates users for our clients with her black magic. If you need some digital voodoo to convince someone to click the big red button, she’s your girl. Don’t worry, we often encourage her to lighten the mood when she mentions death during a standup.

McKenzee Herron
Digital Marketing Coordinator
The year might be 2023, but this groovy galpal is still living in the decade of love. When she’s not coordinating the next big digital marketing campaign, you can find her down on the St Pete pier watching the world through her heart-shaped glasses. McKenzee believes there isn’t a problem love can’t solve - not a love child, but certainly a child of love.

Jasmine Menendez
QA Specialist
Meet Tampa Bay’s 2023 Christmas Cookie Champion, Jasmine. She makes it rain flour on the regular and tries to convince us every year that playing Maria Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas is You" in our lobby is acceptable before Thanksgiving. We know. It’s not.

Melanie Kramaer
Junior Tester
How much wood would a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood? More like.. how many beers would Melanie shotgun if she didn’t have to go to work tomorrow? While she hasn’t quite gotten the hang of city life just yet, she certainly knows how to throw one back. She’s a self-proclaimed line-dancing connoisseur, two-time axe throwing champ and owner of not one, but two pet raccoons.
