About Me

I'm Emma Henry

My Skills

Games & Gamification Design

I adore games in all forms and I'm an advocate of using games as an effective tool in not only creating an engaging interactive medium but also teaching valuable skills and as a storytelling device.

Product/Project Managment

I have managed small to large projects over multidisciplinary teams globally, keeping everyone working together as one team. I have also taken complete ownership as a product manager, ensuring the needs of customers and clients are both met.

Storytelling

Everyone has a story to tell, it's great teaching and communication tool. I believe any narrative can be brought to life with the right approach that will engage and enthrall the audience.

Digital Strategy

I have great experience working to devise and plan a digital strategy, to not only keep up with current trends and anticipate what will be the next "big thing" but also ensure that your product is future-proof.

Quality Assurance

My time working in QA has allowed me to develop an extraordinary eye for detail whilst upholding quality and standards across all areas of production. I'm the last line of defence to ensure your product is of the highest quality before reaching the customer.

Interaction Design

I'm a kinesthetic learner, so I like to be hands-on when it comes to interacting with the day-to-day world and how it responds to me. The UX experience of course is an important factor in design, however, I feel it is just as important to think about how the user will/might react to it.
