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.

We believe luxury is more than an accessory—it is a feeling. At Design by O.H., our jewelry is defined by intention, blending traditional Ghanaian beadwork with premium global materials to create meaningful, handcrafted accessories.
Designed and finished in the U.S., our pieces are made for the woman who values quiet luxury and elegance with purpose.
