About Me
Hi, I'm Olivia from China. I moved to the UK for university. My journey began at Central Saint Martins, where I honed my skills as an industrial product designer. My experience, including a pivotal placement year, reshaped my view of 'products' as both tangible and intangible solutions to user needs. I'm dedicated to identifying and solving the real issues, no matter the form.
After working in a startup design studio, I recognised the importance of a systemic view of design, I pursued further studies in Service Design at the Royal College of Art, driven by curiosity and a love for diverse collaborations that broadened my perspective.
I'm also a spontaneous traveler, always ready for the next adventure, even setting a personal record of going from idea to departure for a week-long trip in under an hour. Travelling fuels my creativity and inspires my work, connecting me with people and ideas from all walks of life.
