Shaped by a life between cultures, I bring a depth of perspective rooted in an instinct for what connects across differences and a fluency in how meaning travels across contexts. I turn strategic intent into moments that solve complex problems and create a lasting resonance.

I build creative ecosystems rooted in brand purpose, where visual expression stays agile but the brand's emotional truth remains unmistakable, no matter what the organisation, the technology, or the culture demands.

I lead from wherever the work needs me. I cultivate creative bravery because the work that endures is rarely the most comfortable to make.

I notice the small things. They're often where the work really begins.

In others' words

“Olive is a fantastic creative lead. She is great at problem-solving and always goes the extra mile. She is that rare combination of a creative thinker with commercial awareness.”

Liz Watts, Chief Strategy Officer at EdComs/EVERFI

“She is a natural creative lead with a clear vision on how brands should represent themselves in the world. She coaches thoughtful creative through ideation, sharing and workshop sessions to help bring out ideas across the team, which I found particularly helpful to expand my references, learn from others and broaden my understanding of different disciplines and how they relate to the work I do. A lot of creative leaders are good at running teams and operations, so for me this helped Olive stand out - bringing the team together through discovery and putting those ideas in to action through our work. This made it much easier to pivot as we transitioned through divestment from EVERFI to Blackbaud - Olive maintained the core of our culture.”

Ben Jay, Executive Producer at EVERFI/Blackbaud (now Head of Video at Trustpilot | ex-Google)

“Since EVERFI acquired the UK team, Olive has been an incredibly talented and collaborative partner to the US-based creative and brand team… Under her leadership, we have been able to bridge the brand between international audiences and have leaned on her as a creative leader. She is truly a pleasure to work with!”

Lilly Shapiro, Senior Corporate Marketing Director at EVERFI

“As a key member of the global marketing team at Legendary, Olive was instrumental in far-reaching campaigns for some of our biggest titles... Olive was an excellent link with our China office, able to take control of the in-market localisation needs and ensure the China office were equipped with event, digital and social materials for their campaigns. She’ll be an asset wherever she goes next!”

Laura Curran, Marketing Manager at Legendary Entertainment (now Client Services Director at MXW)

“Olive is extremely capable. She was a key member of the department who could always be counted on to come up with innovative ideas... Her contribution has been invaluable, affecting not only the UK team but Macmillan design globally, helping to raise the standard of our products.”

Will Fallon, Head of Design at Macmillan Education (now VP Product Design at BlackRock)
