Olena Kholina
Designer | Entrepreneur | Artist
I am a designer and entrepreneur from Ukraine who now calls San Francisco home. My journey here was driven by a passion for art and innovation, which has taken me through the realms of design, art, music, and the startup world.

I am currently involved in and lead several interesting projects. I have created DesignHost, a subscription-based design agency that serves startups and companies. I am also a co-founder of Huttera, a real estate marketplace designed to simplify real estate transactions. I actively support the nonprofit IDWA and have been collaborating with Madhats.ai for several years, helping to organize cool tech events in San Francisco and the Bay Area.

I love to participate in city life actively, so I can often be found volunteering at major city events. Music, another deep love, I record mixes and sometimes DJ with Music Atlas, where I blend beats and rhythms that tell stories of my journey.

My move to the United States in 2017 was my most important step. From the first day until today, I am amazed at the incredible people I meet here. Every step along this path has deepened my appreciation for this country for the community, and the endless opportunities that open up.
