Hi, I’m Olivia.

Originally, I am from the DC-Maryland metropolitan area. Living in a culturally diverse place, I have grown up with people coming from all walks of life. As a result, culture and stories have always been a major part of my life. As my parents are immigrants from Brazil, I have watched and learned the importance of communities and hard work. For there to be a successful community you need to have trust, create bonds and have the ability to empathize with people.

People and empathy are two of the biggest influencers of my life and the starting foundation of my interest in designing for humans.
