Hi, I'm Olivia.

I make things, tell stories, and usually end up learning something new along the way.

I work across marketing, communications, writing, social, web, photography, video, design and campaigns. The list kept growing because I kept getting curious. If something needed making, I wanted to learn how to make it myself.

A school district will hand you a new kind of problem every week. One day it is a story. The next it is a poster, a video, a website, or a system that could work a little better than it does.

That same instinct is how ScrollCall started. I kept running into a gap, so I tried to build the thing I wished already existed.
