Background

About Cara Henderson

I am a creative professional at heart with a strong background in graphic design, advertising strategy, and copywriting. While I continue to work part-time in this space, I am also pursuing a new and exciting path — studying Occupational Therapy. This transition into the health sector comes from a deep desire to make a meaningful impact on the health and wellbeing of others. I’m drawn to the way occupational therapy supports people to live full, independent lives, and I’m excited to build a career that blends creativity, problem-solving, and compassion. In my creative work, I help brands position themselves strategically — getting the right message to the right audience, through the right channels. I’m experienced in managing advertising and creative campaigns from concept to completion, ensuring clear communication and delivering work on time and within budget. I love being organised, thrive on collaboration, and always pay attention to the fine print — skills that serve me well both in design and now in my studies and future practice as an occupational therapist. If you’re looking for creative support for your business, or want to connect with someone navigating a career shift into health, I’d love to chat (preferably over a great cup of coffee!).
