Hey there, I'm Olivia! I'm a visual designer and illustrator with an interest in creating fun and impactful work through digital and traditional tools. I very much enjoy creating narrative illustrations, brand identities, graphic design, and like to play around with hand lettering and typography- but I'm always up for learning a new skill and willing to take on a new creative challenge. I'm constantly questioning how things are made, and exploring the different routes it takes to make them, and as a result I find new and interesting ways to approach each of my projects. Quality and creativity is always a must, and is something I strive for in every aspect of my work.

Some of my current research interests include motion design, AR, as well as UX/UI and how I can integrate my illustration and graphic design skills to create interesting, and dynamic work while still communicating the works intent effectively. As a result, I am currently delving more into motion based programs, and have started learning new tricks and tips to add to my repertoire.
