About Melissa Henrey

I do independent, project-based work across strategy, operations, and creative production.I’m often brought in when work is already underway or still taking shape and clarity, structure, or follow-through are needed to move things forward. I help translate early ideas into clear plans, coordinate across people and systems, and support projects through execution and completion.Over the past several years, this has included developing short documentary projects, building programs for mission-driven initiatives, and supporting early-stage organizations.My background includes consulting and entrepreneurship, along with a master’s degree in learning technology and experience design. Earlier training in horticulture and fine arts continues to shape how I think about systems, process, and form.Based in New York.
