Henry led the creative work of a number of our biggest fine wine brands, most notably Santa Rita but also Terra Andina and Citra among others. While there's no doubt that Henry is extremely creative and skilled as an art director and designer, what I appreciated most as a client were the less tangible aspects: his strategic approach to addressing the challenges posed in a brief, his ability to present and defend creative that made us think differently, and his flexibility, openness to feedback and willingness to work with us to deliver work that fit our needs without compromising his strong design principles. And on top of all this, Henry's good nature and sharp yet subtle sense of humor makes him someone that is just plain fun to work with.”

He stopped being my boss 4 years ago, but what he taught me back then keeps going up in value as my career is moving forward. He showed me the real design. The design from when design was king and art direction was an art. I've never worked with a creative Art Director who is as talented and passionate for design as Henry. His work is sharp, consistent and meticulously beautiful. He was an honest boss and he's now an honest friend. I hope our paths will cross again professionally in the near future."
