She grew up learning to fix things around the house with her dad and went on to study a degree in textile design that allowed her to put her hands-on experience into practice. While preparing for her final project, she started experimenting with hard surfaces, which kickstarted her career as a product designer.

After graduating, Olivia began casting and creating from her dad’s garage alongside other design jobs before building up enough commissions to start her own studio. Since then, she has created work for Google, Pinterest, Cancer Research, and more, making bespoke pieces characterized by their color, pattern, and craftsmanship.
