Ohenewaa Larbi Ahima: The Vision Behind Design by O.H

Design by O.H. is a quiet luxury accessories brand rooted in heritage and global artistry. Founded by Ohenewaa Larbi Ahima (O.H.), our collection blends the vibrant spirit of African luxury with modern American craftsmanship.

Precision Meets Artistry

Designs by OH was born at the intersection of two unexpected worlds: clinical precision and luxury design.

As a board-certified internal medicine doctor, my days are rooted in deep observation, structural diagnosis, and intentional care. I found that the same principles driving medicine—scientific exactness and a profound appreciation for human life—longed for a creative outlet.

Designs by OH is that expression. It is luxury engineered with intention.

What Makes Us Unique

Our brand was born from a powerful belief: luxury should carry intention. We specialize in unique luxury accessories inspired by Ghanaian culture, utilizing globally sourced materials:

  • Ghanaian Bead Jewelry Accessories: Centuries of artistry curated for the modern woman.
  • Handmade Bag Charms: Crafted in Maryland with fire-polished Czech glass and curated textiles.
  • Sustainable Luxury Accessories: Handmade jewelry designed as keepsakes, not seasonal trends.
The bag charms are made using recycled glass beads from Ghana, also known as sand cast beads, and other interesting beads and crystals from around the world.
