Diana Ganea joins UltraSuperNew Tokyo’s creative team from Wieden+Kennedy
Independent creative agency UltraSuperNew Tokyo has hired art director and creative Diana Ganea. Based in the Tokyo office, Ganea will report to creative director Yousuke Ozawa.
Driven by a strong interest in graphic design and emerging technologies, Ganea brings a bold, surrealist creative style to key accounts including SKYN, Sheraton, Jameson, and the interactive music-learning platform Yousician.
The Copenhagen-born art director has a multi-platform background spanning film, OOH, events, social, 3D, and AR. She joins UltraSuperNew from Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, where she created work for global brands such as Samsung, Google, IKEA, Nike, and most recently, Netflix.
A graduate of the prestigious London College of Communication, Ganea often taps into youth culture through mixed media and innovative tech—such as developing an interactive experience and AR filter featuring IKEA’s iconic BLÅHAJ shark plushie for the Tiny Homes campaign, or reimagining a playground for Nike’s Playground for All.
Before relocating to Tokyo, she worked with London-based creative events agency My Beautiful City and creative studio Object & Animal, contributing to a wide range of projects including commercial campaigns, music videos, and the cover design for FKA Twigs’ Cellophane.
Ganea said: “I’m thrilled to join UltraSuperNew’s Tokyo team, a place that values bold ideas and a forward-thinking, experimental approach. I’m excited to explore new formats and technologies with such a talented group, and to create work that’s both meaningful and unexpected.”
Yousuke Ozawa, Creative Director, UltraSuperNew, said: “Diana immediately raised the creative bar when she joined, and that standard has only continued to rise thanks to her sharp eye for design and deep understanding of technology. We knew right away she was a perfect fit for UltraSuperNew – her passion for creating original, meaningful work far outweighed any superficial ambition, which is exactly what we value most here. Despite her intense drive, she brings a kind and gentle spirit that’s incredibly likeable and has naturally strengthened the chemistry across teams. She continues to surprise me every time – and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.”
