ABOUT OLIVIA
Structures and systems, shaped around people.
My work sits between furniture, interiors and architecture, spanning individual objects, fitted kitchens, exhibition installations and room-scale furniture systems. With experience across design development, technical preparation, workshop manufacture and on-site installation, I understand how ideas are translated into well-made objects and spaces.
Four years’ industry experience · First-class honours graduate · Exhibited at Craftspace Made in the Middle, New Designers and Grand Designs Live
Hands-on making is central to my practice, combining workshop fabrication, CNC machining and traditional joinery with the technical knowledge needed to develop and deliver complex projects. My work ranges from modular seating exhibited at Made in the Middle to bespoke kitchens and large-scale display systems for exhibitions at Midlands Arts Centre.
