Available to hire
Hi, I’m David Henry, a graphic designer with over thirty years of experience in print and web design. I’ve honed my skills in a range of layout and graphic software, while also gaining extensive expertise in prepress procedures and web development. I enjoy coordinating creative teams and bringing projects to life across multiple formats, from printed literature to dynamic websites.
Having lived and worked in Paris since 1996, I speak both English and French fluently, which has helped me work with a diverse range of clients and teams. Whether it’s designing books, magazines, or websites, I am passionate about merging creativity with functionality.
