Recent Experience

Pottery Barn
Graphic Designer

2021-2023

In a fast-paced retail environment I translated style guides to create unique design solutions incorporating video, messaging, photography, motion graphics and animation to elevate the brand across paid and organic social, email, and site touchpoints. I executed creative from concept to final production, aligning with the brief, ongoing feedback, and business goals. I partnered daily with brand, copy, and other internal teams to create assets for seasonal campaigns, brand partnerships, cross-channel promotions, and merchandise launches. I efficiently managed urgent and long-term projects with competing timelines. I presented my work to project managers and internal partners in weekly reviews.

CauseForce LLC
Graphic Designer

2019-2020

As the primary designer in an active startup environment, I set brand standards and delivered quality content for print, digital, motion graphics, signage, apparel and event merchandise. I managed deadlines, tight turnarounds and unexpected requests. I collaborated with internal teams to strategically elevate the creative of each client’s established brand. I clearly and concisely expressed ideas and concepts, consistently offering creative insight, suggestions, and recommendations. I provided freelance designers with art direction and feedback, assigning them tasks as needed.

  • "Olive is excellent at managing graphic design deliverables for multiple projects and clients at once. Speaking of flexible, during the pandemic, she showed great adaptability with changes to a work from home environment and several changes in her direct supervisor. She'd be an excellent addition to any graphic design team.
