Hi, I'm Olivia. I'm a New York City based digital designer working across user experience, graphic, and brand design.

I'm a designer with 5 years of experience across product design and creative direction. Initially pursuing a career in healthcare, I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Biology & Society, an interdisciplinary major that intertwines the core components of a traditional biology curriculum with perspectives from the social sciences, ethics, public health, and science and technology studies. My fascination with the synergy between design and technology – where artistic expression meets practical human needs – propelled me into the digital design space.

Inspired by an upbringing that instilled a deep appreciation for design and a proclivity to question convention, I draw upon creative problem-solving techniques to develop human-centered design solutions. Guided by a genuine desire to understand and empathize with diverse user groups, my work is dedicated to crafting purposeful designs that enrich the lives of those who interact with them.

Background

Initially pursuing a career in healthcare, I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Biology & Society, an interdisciplinary major that intertwines the core components of a traditional biology curriculum with perspectives from the social sciences, ethics, public health, and science and technology studies. My fascination with the synergy between design and technology – where artistic expression meets practical human needs – propelled me into the digital design space.

I bring a blend of scientific methodologies and thoughtful precision to my creative process. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I engaged in a range of courses including Healthcare Entrepreneurship and Design and Innovation, alongside more technically oriented STEM classes such as Biology and Calculus. This path honed my analytical and problem-solving skills, both of which are essential for crafting seamless user experiences.
