About

I’m Ifeoma Ubby, a creative strategist, brand founder, and PhD-trained researcher with multidisciplinary experience across brand design, creative direction, marketing, content strategy, and product development. Over the past several years, I have built and led OliveAnkara, a fashion and lifestyle brand rooted in storytelling, cultural identity, and thoughtful design.

My work sits at the intersection of creativity and strategy, translating ideas, values, and business objectives into compelling visual and brand experiences across digital and physical touchpoints. I have experience managing cross-functional projects from concept to execution, collaborating with creatives, manufacturers, marketers, and external partners across different countries and cultures.

Alongside a strong creative sensibility, I bring a structured and analytical approach shaped by my scientific background. I am highly adaptable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in fast-paced environments while balancing multiple projects and deadlines. Based between Singapore and Thailand, I’m passionate about building meaningful, visually engaging brands that connect storytelling, design, and community.
