About Olivia

I'am a communications professional working across writing, storytelling, strategic communications, digital content and visual media. I turn ideas, information and real experiences into stories and content that people can understand and connect with.

My work spans development, advocacy, purpose-driven organisations and brands, where I have worked on everything from campaign communications and programme storytelling to editorial content, photography and video. With a background in law, I also bring strong research and analytical skills to the way I approach communication.

OUTSIDE THE BRIEF

WHEN THE WORK IS DONE, LIFE GETS A LITTLE QUIETER..

Away from deadlines and screens, you’ll probably find me with a good book, watching a film, taking photographs, enjoying nature, or having one of those long, device-free conversations where nobody is checking the time. I am drawn to art, poetry, and the little details that make ordinary life interesting.
