About me
Hello, I’m Henry. I’m originally from London where I obtained a BA and an MA in graphic design; two fancy pieces of paper no one has ever asked to see.
Since then I’ve worked as a creative in London and Hamburg, made work across a variety of media and won awards (& pitches) in the process.
When I’m not standing on giant sand dunes I love writing, art directing, playing and making things for tabletop games, making music, and hanging out with my partner in crime Vanessa.
Fancy a chat about any, or all, of the above? Drop me a line:
