about

I’m Olivia, a graphic designer with experience in branding, website, editorial , social media design (and more)

I work with clients to ensure their brand has all of the assets it needs to look cohesive and shine.

I am currently the Art Director for Direct Development: Design + Communications. I’ve worked with small businesses, non-profits, and government entities to design brands that are unique and identifiable. I’ve built brands completely from scratch and have refreshed current brands by creating new, cohesive, eye-catching designs.

Industrious and meticulous, I pay attention to the smallest details, resulting in solid compositions and impactful layouts. I believe in purposeful design and give each project that I work on equal care + attention.

When I'm not designing, you can find me rummaging through shops for old photographs to re-home and building up my coding skills.
