My Services in Greater Detail:

One of my favorite scenes in the film Wonder Boys is when Rip Torn, known in the movie as Q, walks up to the podium in a university auditorium to kick off WordFest and boldly declares, “I am a writer.” Simple. Direct. Enough said! I have devoted three decades to the craft of writing—be it architecture and design monographs; journalism; digital content for clients, which includes blogs, social media, and product descriptions; and my own creative endeavors. There is hardly a day when I am not involved in some task relating to the written word. In truth, I dreamed of living a writing life for so long I can’t remember a time when it wasn’t a quest. The acts of storytelling and weaving words together are sacred acts that make my days both challenging and satisfying. 

Some of my favorite projects are books for architecture and interior design firms. I am currently collaborating with Sweet Sparkman Architects, a Sarasota-based practice, to create their monograph, which will debut in 2027 to celebrate the firm’s 25th anniversary. My most recently published example of a project for a company is Collaborations: A Houston Penthouse, which I penned for the New York City firm 212box. The beautifully illustrated large-format book takes readers through a luxurious and bespoke penthouse suite in Houston, Texas. More than fifty talented artisans and craftspeople—from sculptors to cabinet makers to painters and ceramicists, among many others—contributed to the beautifully designed interiors. They and their furniture, materials, and art objects spring to life in the book’s pages. The publisher, Images, notes, “Along with presenting the building containing the penthouse and the residence itself, renowned writer and journalist Saxon Henry exquisitely introduces readers to each maker as a character in a story. Each space elicits its own experience.” I am quite proud of the gorgeous book and look forward to other remarkable artistic representations of design and architecture to come!

An enjoyable aspect of my content creation includes blog posts for clients, my longest-standing collaboration with Currey & Company, whose posts I’ve been writing since April 2015. I also message on Instagram, a role I held for Eleanor Rigby Home between January 2021 and October 2025.

I thrive on being a journalist, as well, a journey toward actualization I have continued to nurture for three decades. Interviewing the fascinating people I am assigned to feature and mining their points of view for that hidden story, or covering historical aspects of architecture, or bringing a designer’s or architect’s project to life in a home feature are enjoyable because each home tells the tale of intimate collaborations between the professionals and the clients who will inhabit them.
