Fura Johannesdottir began her digital journey twenty years ago in Iceland before moving to New York City, where she studied at Parsons School of Design. While at Parsons, she explored the intersection of digital and physical realms, laying the foundation for her future endeavors. Following her graduation, she spent 12 years honing her skills at R/GA, working with prestigious clients like Nike, Volvo, Samsung, Walmart, and H&M. Her time at R/GA was marked by a steadfast dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and innovative ideas, which shaped her pride in being part of the R/GA community.
After leaving R/GA, Fura joined Publicis Sapient, leading the experience expertise across global offices and focusing on digital business transformation. She played a key role in developing solutions that combined creativity, design, business strategies, and technology for clients such as RBS, Carrefour, Galeries Lafayette, Nissan, and Nestle. More recently, Fura took on the responsibility of supervising the global design team at Huge, advocating for a holistic approach to brand interactions that integrate various elements from digital platforms to physical products. Under her leadership, Huge was recognised as the agency of the year for digital innovation by Campaign US and has established itself as a top environment for nurturing creative talent.
We are honoured to have Fura in our community.
