Hi, I’m David Henderson, a Strategic Creative Operations Manager and Systems Architect who bridges creative vision with executional excellence. Over the past 7+ years I’ve built end-to-end workflows, managed high-value assets, and optimized resource allocation for studios and creative agencies. I thrive transforming organized chaos into scalable SOPs that teams can rely on to deliver on time and on budget. My approach blends hands-on studio operations, project management, and technical tooling—from DAMs and Pro Tools to Notion and Asana—so creative teams can focus on making, not chasing, assets. I’m passionate about empowering artists and collaborators, aligning stakeholders, and continually refining processes to support bold bets in music, media, and beyond.
