I’m Olivia Kane, a typography-obsessed designer and art director based in NYC.
I craft brand identities and design systems that delicately balance authentic, emotive storytelling with intuitive logic and precision.
I’m available for freelance and full-time opportunities.
Previously, I’ve worked with teams at Watson JKR, Thought Matter, Penguin Random House, and David Stark Design. For three seasons, I co-hosted The Weekly Typographic podcast with Micah Rich, where we discussed type trends, type history, and interviewed innovators in the industry.
