Henna Kathiya

Born and raised in New Jersey -with a brief stint living near the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia (which we count as a colorful part of Henna’s life). 

 After mildly disappointing her parents and throwing her journalism major to the wind, Henna started her career as a production assistant at MTV News- transcribing talking heads, fetching coffee, and occasionally fangirl-ing over celebrities [yes Idris Elba is just as beautiful in person]. 

 She made the jump to advertising in 2013 and hasn’t looked back since. The fast paced, zany nature of making commercials fits in within Henna’s temperament pretty perfectly. From getting CNN to report on a fast food campaign to asking teenage boys to look at mouth cancer for the FDA- Henna takes any production challenge as an opportunity.  

 Henna currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. She’ll simultaneously challenge you to a spelling bee and recommend the best hot pot restaurant within the five boroughs- and still wonder if this is would ever work as a suitable back book flap “author bio”. 

 Her work has been recognized by the Cannes Lions,  One Show, D&AD, Webbys, Clios, AICP, & Andys.
