Hey I'm Olivia, some people call me Liv, will respond to either
I've been a designer for 7 years working with brands that are pushing the boundary for what success looks like in business. When I'm not being a creative genius with brand design, I'm an alternative wedding photographer and have built our own business to be a multi- 5 figure brand using everything design.
This brain is hella neurospicy
It took a while to realise ADHD is my superpower
I move at a million miles an hour with ideas running pretty much constantly and with a firm 'I could probably make that' mindset. It's what's got me to where I am, attracts other passionate business owners and brings the best, most industry disruptive brands to the forefront.
Just because you move differently in this world absolutely does not mean that your wildest dreams can't be your reality, it's actually all the more reason to push harder.
A lot of my life doesn't make much sense
I've done some crazy things throughout my life, stuff that doesn't always make complete sense but hey, life's about the journey not the destination right? I won an all expenses paid for trip to India at 14 after entering a business and enterprise competition. Got scouted as a designer in my first year of uni and worked for some of the biggest nightclubs and bars in Bournemouth whilst completing my degree.
I can learn pretty much any craft or DIY I set my mind to, yet to tackle my dream of making a quilt, thats my next craft adventure.
I've always been the person who can do what she sets her mind to, that's how and why I started a business at 23 years old and became a wedding photographer at 25. All fun and games
I'm an Addict
My particular tipple is an oat vanilla latte, sugar free if you've got it. I was actually a barista for 5 years before and whilst I was at uni and got really nerdy about latte art. Another one of those things I was just determined to be somewhat good at, yes, my morning coffees are art every day, I'm calling it my 'me time'.
Meet the office dog, Mallie
Mallie is a Macedonian Rescue dog, she's a true Heinz 57 blend and is the love and bane of my life simultaneously. High energy, high drive and a true lovable rogue. She may join in on calls (especially if the postman happens to drop by during a meeting)
I'm a tastefully woo-woo people reader
I would start with the cheesy 'since I was little I was creative' but my university lecturers told me this wasn't the way to start an about section. Saying that, you've probably learned pretty quickly that I'm not your typical business owner and I don't play by the traditional rules all the time.
I've always had a weird knack at reading people, predicting things that would happen by getting a feeling or in a dream and so my intuition is pretty strong. I'm always told that I understand my clients in a way that feels like mindreading.
