Hi, I’m Olivia, a creative professional.
My job titles include “Graphic Designer,” but I approach design from a macro lens before diving into the minutiae. I thrive when I know the broader vision, which enables me to translate messages into designs that affect audiences.
I strive to create intentional, effective marketing and communication materials that support organizational goals. It’s never “just” a poster or flyer or t-shirt: It’s an opportunity to make an impact, grow creatively and maximize the potential of the brief.
My design philosophy:
- Stay curious.
- Pay attention to detail.
- Seek experimentation.
