Hi, I’m H.
It My real name is Henriette, but everyone calls me H, so you can too.
I have two professional interests. Firstly, I am a graphic designer with a passion for typography, dedicated to assisting purpose-driven organizations in standing out and achieving success.
I am particularly drawn to individuals and groups committed to improving our world. If you are involved in environmental initiatives, holistic health practices, coaching, or consulting, I would be interested in discussing how I can support your goals.
My responsibility is to enhance your marketing efforts to attract the right audience, enabling you to flourish and maximize your impact.
Additionally, I serve as a specialist in developing creative teams, focusing on helping underperforming teams in creative agencies and organizations with in-house creative teams. My role involves identifying and addressing the obstacles that hinder your team's potential for greatness.
My creative journey began early on. I spent a large part of my teenage years designing large scale posters with my best friend, which later helped me secure an apprenticeship in wallpaper design.
Transitioning from wallpaper design, I ventured into graphic design, servicing clients across New Zealand, Australia, and the US. Notable clients included the Illinois Office of Tourism, Ngāi Tahu Property, YHA New Zealand, and Ronald McDonald House South Island.
After a decade of refining my typography skills, I transitioned into managing a creative studio within an international agency. It was during this time that I developed the ability to inspire and empower creative teams. I later led the in-house creative team at Ballantynes, a prominent retail institution in the South Island, until the onset of the pandemic.
So, if you want your brand to feel more like you, cut through the noise and grab attention from the right people, talk to me. I’m here to help.
