Olivia is an interdisciplinary graphic designer and illustrator living in Brooklyn, NY.  Her illustration style weaves together bold, creamy colors, hand lettering and an appreciation for the everyday objects, foods and characters that populate our lives (usually with a touch of the absurd).  She has directed a cat circus, designed a nightclub, painted in Greek mountains, and is a member of One Year Lease Theater Company. Olivia is dedicated to finding communities that are passionate about storytelling, lifting up marginalized voices, educating a new generation of creatives, and rejoicing in the everyday. She is also passionate about the color mustard yellow.  She received her B.A. in Drama from Vassar College, earning the Molly Thacher Kazan Memorial prize for distinction in the Theater Arts. 

Illustration and design clients include Hillel International, The African American Policy Forum, Vassar College, CalArts, The Thacher School, Collegiate School, Big Dance Theater, Gallery 98, Crowded Outlet, and One Year Lease Theater Company, among others. She is a member of the Type Directors Club and Women Who Draw, and is an assistant cover designer at Harper Collins Publishing.
