My Name is Windy Henry and I can't wait to work with you. I started my education with a fascination for printed textiles and illustration, and have worked in many facets of design including entertainment, video gaming, licensed products, screen printing, textiles and fashion. Helping companies build top notch branding and identity systems to promote their business is what I excel at. I love fun, upbeat design and always employ color theory to make my graphics leap from the page and into the hearts of the viewer.
