Olivia Wolfe is a Design Writer at Livingetc with a Masters Degree in Arts and Lifestyle Journalism at the University of the Arts London, London College of Communication. She has always loved every form of creative arts, be it writing, painting, fashion, or design.
Olivia obtained her Undergraduate degree (BA) in Journalism at the University of Colorado, Boulder with a Minor degree in Fine Art. Eager to hone her skills as a cultural journalist, she moved from the United States to London to be in a city engulfed in creativity. These opportunities landed her roles working on small multimedia publications, and writing for women lifestyle magazines.
Growing up, many of the women in Olivia's life valued the importance of a well-decorated home. She can remember her grandmother taking her antique shopping when she was just a little girl. So it is no surprise that this influence led her to a career working in the Interiors section of Livingetc.
Although Olivia's primary interests of course involve writing and interacting with the arts, she has also spent much of her life invested in environmental studies. Olivia grew up near the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where she would spend her summers backpacking and hiking through the hardwood forests. During her undergraduate degree, she studied Environmental Studies and Environmental Justice Journalism and is still passionate about this today.
In her free time, Olivia delves into all things art and culture, including arranging and rearranging the decor and furniture around her house. She loves to stay on top of the latest activities the city has to offer, so she has perfectly curated her social media content to promote the latest West End play or find the most aesthetic and tasty new wine bar in East London. Though when having a night in, Olivia can be found working on her latest oil painting while a shuffle through her long list of very specific Spotify playlists.
