Henry plant vi
A digital creative blending product design expertise with front-end coding skills, and an award-winning background in photography and video editing.
I have 14 years in the field of digital interfaces, coupled with 9 years of experience as a creative lead. Throughout my career, I have engaged in the development of vast enterprise websites, international marketing campaigns, intricate AI-powered products, as well as an array of content-related service tools. Specifically, my focus over the past 6 years has centered on designing SaaS products for the B2B sector, serving both Cornerstone and their internal startup brand, CyberU. The insane success we achieved with our products at CyberU prompted the dismantling of our team by CSOD in order to replicate the same level of excellence for the main corporation. Notably, I have actively contributed to the growth of Cornerstone's content business functioning as the only product designer for this division. It has been wonderful witnessing its expansion from generating less than a million to hundreds of millions in revenue.
In addition to my B2B experience, I have also worked on designing applications and websites for the entertainment industry. As a founding member of a small UX agency, our focus gradually shifted towards larger entertainment projects. Notable clients included Universal, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, FXX, Hollywood Bowl, Fathom Events, Open Road Films, and New Regency. Emphasizing the importance of user research and testing, our agency prioritized a user-centric approach to design.
I began my academic path at the University of California, Santa Cruz, graduating in 2007 with dual degrees in Fine Art and the History of Visual Culture. I am honored to have been awarded the esteemed William Hyde Irwin and Susan Benteen Irwin Scholarship in 2007, recognized as the art department's most prestigious student scholarship. .
Throughout my professional experience, I have been fortunate to work in diverse environments, ranging from agencies to large corporations and growing startups. I approach tasks with a solution-oriented mindset and am confident in my ability to execute various projects within reasonable boundaries.
