I'm so thrilled to share such a big and bright conversation with designer and author Olivia Herrick today. Olivia is a Minnesota-based graphic designer with 11 years of design experience, and she runs Olivia Herrick Design, a multidisciplinary design studio. She's a mama who also plays competitive golf, loves spending time in nature, a vegan, and a self-confessed chronic optimist.

Simplicity and ease in design is her main goal. Her Instagram feed is filled with her bright, punchy but deliciously simple style and design that is instantly recognisable and uplifting - there's at least 6 of Olivia's graphics scattered on my vision board and within journals.

I chose Olivia to be my first guest on This Creative Life, because her course was a catalyst for me in recognising that I had stopped prioritising my creativity a long time ago - and that I needed to essentially rebuild it from the ground up. This podcast is just one of the by-products of that rediscovery!

Enjoy!
