Hi there!

Hi there, I’m Lara Henry, a freelance UX/UI Designer. I’m a resourceful and adaptive thinker, priding myself not shying away from new tasks and going the extra mile to help businesses reach and exceed their goals. I specialize in content creation, website design, IT, graphic design, and eCommerce.

Outside of work and study, I love to read, cook, and be outside. My interests span far and wide, but skiing in particular, has been a lifelong passion, rooted in my upbringing in the one and only Steamboat Springs.

I embrace...

Curiosity

I like people, places, and things. I like learning. I want to know more about the world.

Adaptability

i can do things. and if i don't know how to do something, I will teach myself how to do it.

Humbleness

i am so humble. the most humble person you've ever met.

My Passions

📚 Reading Books

I'm not sure where I'd be if I never gave reading a try. Most likely I'd be much more sleep-deprived and bleary-eyed because reading is how I managed to overcome years of insomnia. But more importantly, I wouldn't feel as alive and connected to the world. There are so many amazing books I've read in the last couple of years that have changed my life. In no specific order, here are some of my favorites:

▪︎ Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
▪︎ Wild by Sheryl Strayed
▪︎ Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
▪︎ Educated by Tara Westover
▪︎ Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
▪︎ Know My Name (audiobook) written and read by Chanel Miller
▪︎ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
▪︎ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
▪︎ Born a Crime (audiobook) written and read by Trevor Noah
▪︎ The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel James Brown

🎧 Listening to Podcasts

I've been a longtime listener of podcasts for many reasons. For one thing, my ADHD brain has to be continually stimulated. I have found that listening to stories or catching up on current events is what gets me through mundane tasks, like finally folding the pile of clean laundry on my bed. But listening to podcasts has also been relaxing, even meditative. For me, a pleasant form of relaxation is to embark on my daily walk and tune into one of my favorite podcasts. Here's are some of my favorite shows:

▪︎ Normal Gossip - The reason why I'm giggling to myself
▪︎ S-Town - The most brilliant complex storytelling
▪︎ The Daily - Quick, interesting, and well-explained news stories
▪︎ The Dollop –
▪︎ Up and Vanished -
▪︎ Criminal –
▪︎ This is Love – Stories that serve as a good reminder that love is everywhere

🥐 All Things Food

I love eating. Here are some of my favorite Denver spots:

▪︎ Sushi Den - (duh)
▪︎ Bakery Four – World's best pain au chocolat
▪︎ Get Rights - Life changing pizza by the slice
▪︎ Lucky Noodle -
▪︎ Tokyo Premium - Yummiest banana chocolate pastry (Can you tell I LOVE baked goods?)
▪︎ MAKfam - Best dumplings in Denver
