Carla Ehlers

digital designer

Hi I’m Carla.
I’m a purpose-driven digital designer currently working at Ogilvy Social.Lab, where I craft impactful visual experiences for global brands and mentor emerging creatives. My journey is defined by curiosity, ambition and a passion for meaningful design. Whilst completing my studies, I represented Vega School on an international exchange to Fontys University in the Netherlands and in my final year, I won a coveted D&AD Wood Pencil. Career highlights that continue to fuel my drive to inspire and lead within the creative industry include attending the Cannes Lions Festival in 2025 as part of the Open Chair Young Lionesses, as well as participating in the Loeries Young Creatives Masterclass.

When I’m not in front of my screen working on UI and digital design, I’m a dedicated dog, cat and plant mom, tattoo collector, coffee drinker and rockclimber. I am a lover of fashion, thrifting and I’m an avid trend-watcher. Trend-watching informs my passion for styling, art direction and overall appreciation for beauty.
