Henna

Henna

Office Coordinator

Henna's journey began in the wild East German countryside, being born and raised in a country that no longer exists. Her path led her to Berlin where she studied culture and technology, "core subject philosophy", which she did not complete. Undeterred yet determined, she worked at various different software companies before she found her safe haven at u-he in 2016.

At u-he, Henna takes care of many tasks such as the back office, the accounting department, and being the overall hero of organisation - which is often challenging. She enjoys fiddling with Eurorack components and loves putting the tiny pieces in place. Though sometimes moody, "just like the rest of the pack", she is an all-round good soul.

She mostly spends her spare time with her son Jules, learning everything about Star Wars and playing seemingly endless games of yes-no. Jules is now in school and grows just as fast as his hair, looking like a 70s skater dude. Henna loves and appreciates the good things in life, music, TV series, tattoos and a glass of fine gin, although finding the time to enjoy all of the above can be challenging between being a mom and an office superwoman.
