About

Direct yet conceptual. Provocative and engaging. Design & illustration for brands, publications, and people.

 
 

— Hi! I’m Olivia.

I’m a UX/UI designer currently based out of Charleston, South Carolina. I’m certified in UX/UI design and front-end web development.

My adventure in this field begins one stormmmyyy night. But, not really. Just kidding. We can pretend for the story, though.

Since I was little, I’ve always enjoyed pretty-looking-people-involved-stuff but couldn't quite find the thing that involved all of that. Then one day, I discovered UX/UI design on YouTube and realized that this is what I wanted to do forever. I started (and finished!) a course to become certified and never looked back.

— Some of My Values & Things I Keep In Mind

 

📚 Learn everywhere you go

New opportunities to learn appear everyday even in the smallest ways. Embrace every chance you get and keep an open mind. Don’t be afraid to be wrong. Dig in to the details of everything and reveal all the things there is to learn from. Every experience is what you make it.

 
 

💡 Don’t give up! A solution will always appear.

We’ve all had moments where it feels like what we’re working on will never get finished. It all feels wrong, this doesn’t look right, nothing makes sense! But somehow, in the end, we always get it done. Trying to remember in a moment of frustration that everything will be fine can be hard. It’s important to always remind yourself, even in the toughest of situations, you will get it done and it’ll be even better than you expected.

 
 

💗 Don’t forget about yourself

Be easy on yourself. Take care of yourself. Your mental health and physical wellbeing is a #1 priority. Feeling nervous or anxious? That’s okay, and you’re not alone. But don’t let it discourage you. It’s important to remind yourself that you’re a badass, a hard-worker, great at what you do and you deserve all the great things happening and all the even better things yet to come. You got this. (Oh, and don’t forget to wear sunscreen please.)
