Hi there, my name is Olivia Messer, but you can call me Liv, for short! Ever since I was a young kiddo, I knew I HAD to do something to allow my mind to wander, to constantly reimagine, to look at things differently, and to create something beautiful.

Of course, several professions do this. For me, the creative track in advertising drew me in. To be able to strip a project down to its rawness, to obsess and learn everything humanly possible about it was just the start. Taking that information and forming a strategy that truly defines the project and accomplishes your objectives is so incredibly satisfying.  

However, we still aren't to why I chose this profession. Creative design holds a deep place in my heart. (Fun Fact: my favorite thing to doodle is flowers.) After planting the seed of the strategy, I get to help it bloom through creative executions. To be able to bring a strategy to life, from the start of visualizing it in your mind to the finished product, is my absolute favorite. Often as a creative, especially a graphic designer, we hear that we make things pretty. Well, my friends, that is not the case. My designs solve problems in a visually, easily-digestible manner, which is the backbone of my brand.

Inspired by my love of flowers, I developed my brand: Liv Creative. Keeping in mind the strategy and goals behind all my designs, I ensure all my executions follow this: "Creative designs, strategically rooted."
