Hi, I’m Olivia

Storyteller. Event Architect. Podcast Builder. Founder-Led Marketing Strategist.

I've always believed that behind every great business is an even better story.

My job is helping people find it, shape it, and tell it in a way that people actually remember.

My career has taken me everywhere from television sets and publishing houses to sold-out conferences, podcast studios and boardrooms.

Along the way I've produced events, launched podcasts, built founder brands, created communities and helped businesses communicate with more clarity, confidence and personality.

But underneath every project has always been the same thing...

Storytelling.

Today, I help founders and brands bring big ideas to life through strategic communications, podcast production, events and founder-led marketing, creating stories, experiences and conversations that people remember.

Everything Olivia does starts with a great story.

Kind words from clients

“I’ve known Olivia long enough to know that what makes her exceptional isn’t just her talent, it’s the way she sees people. Think about LinkedIn: you see a world where so much branding feels like a copy of a copy. In contrast, Olivia has a rare ability to help people uncover what genuinely makes them different. She doesn’t settle for surface-level marketing and certainly not polished (aka boring, swipe-right-by) messaging. She asks the deeper questions, challenges your thinking, and helps you find the story only you can tell. That takes a unique skill, and it’s a skill that not many brand strategists have.

But what sets Olivia apart even more is who she is. She cares deeply about the people she works with and is genuinely invested in their success. She’s incredibly honest, transparent, and has the integrity to turn down work if she doesn’t believe she’s the right person to help. That kind of authenticity is rare! Olivia is as loyal as she is creatively gifted, and if she chooses to work with you just like you might choose to work with her, you can trust that she’ll give your vision everything she’s got. She’s the kind of person you want in your corner.”

“Working with Olivia has been a game changer for my brand. I love writing and sometimes my ideas keep me up at night, but I don’t always know the best way to convey them visually, and I hit tech blocks along the way. Olivia bridges that gap perfectly. She’s incredibly creative and visual, and she sees things I simply don’t see. She trained me in Riverside, sorted out my Instagram grid, and gave my social media a complete glow up, all while advising me every step of the way with a clear content calendar and a North Star that gave everything direction.

I was already the sort of person who scheduled my posts every Sunday, but she still found a way to bring more order to my system. What stood out most was how well she understood me and my brand; sometimes it felt like she knew it better than I did. She’s genuinely passionate about the work, incredibly disciplined and responsive, and goes above and beyond, even driving down to Abu Dhabi just to see me. I’ve grown so much since working with her these last two months, and I’m looking forward to continuing our work together”
