About me
I'm Olivia, an enthusiastic and experimental creative with a knack for capturing narrative. I am a keen photographer, illustrator, designer, and painter on a mission to hone my creative skills and captivate the imagination through my work. I also co-run my own literary arts magazine STYLUS (in its third print run after selling out twice in a row!) as part of publishing company, Dark Branch Press.
I have worked as a Creative Designer for Award-winning Medical Communications Team: GetAnimated+Medical, designed and illustrated for South West educational trust Sw-ift, and continue to digitally illustrate graphics and characters on a freelance basis for a wide-range of clients (At present, I am working on a set of illustrations for BBC radio programme, 'Lithified' by Laura Simpkins ./programmes/m001rqsf (as part of the 'Lights Out' Radio series). I am also deepening and strengthening my photographic understanding, working Freelance alongside my degree for events and fashion shoots, which affords me a fantastic creative channel to funnel my spare time towards (as well as an occasional free Bellini).
Additionally, I have worked as part of Durham University's 'JSCFS' Creative team which I creatively directed in 2025. Prior to this, I was a Garments Designer for 'Trashion', an exhibition which explored sustainable materials and efforts to repurpose the debris left in the wake of fast-fashion and mass consumption. I am also a Creative Ambassador this year for Europe's largest student-led fundraiser, @DUCFS.
I specialise in Procreate but am also confident with Adobe suite programmes: Photoshop, PremierPro, InDesign and Lightroom. I'm particularly interested in 2D illustration and animation but I am working on my 3D and modelling skills as well. I am open to work where I can bring a little magic and creative flare!
