Ola Elrefai
After moving to the United States from Egypt at an early age, Ola didn’t waste any time falling in love with every element of graphic design. Today she is an accomplished digital designer, creative leader and “artist at heart” who draws inspiration from everywhere as she crafts one-of-a-kind experiences for leading brands.
Ola’s unique design expertise spans over 15 years, including roles as art director and creative director for a range of agencies, digital firms and clients like the Coca-Cola Company, LG Electronics and Barclays Bank. Ola conceives strategic, bold designs for large, mission-driven nonprofits, associations and companies. From web design to brand identity to user experience, she delivers impeccable work across digital, print, social media, video, apps, email marketing, events and offline activations.
As inspiring as she finds graphic design, Ola almost followed her artist’s heart down a different road. When she first moved to New York City in 2006, she was studying interior design at Parsons School of Design, only to have a roommate who was pursuing graphic design. The rest, as they say, is history.
