About Me



Hello, I’m Olive.

I am an illustrator & animator from a sleepy town called Farnham. I’m now based in London. I love colour, pattern, nature, browsing museums and bookshops. 

I’m a graduate of Illustration & Animation BA (Hons) at Kingston School of Art and also spent a year abroad at L'École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.
