Olivia Ioannou

Hi I'm Olivia! I suppose a good place to start would be by introducing myself - I am a creative, confident and outgoing indvidual with strong leadership skills and impeccable attention to detail. I am based in Oxfordshire and work in London. My area of expertise is Retail where I worked in the field for 6 years as a District Visual Merchandiser and I have a key interest in Retail Design as a result of this, specifically pop-ups, pop-ins, and installations. Throughout my career in Retail I gained invaluable experience in management, both in people and projects. Although my true passion lies within Retail Design, I am very well knowledgeable in Residential Design and understand how to pull together a full scheme. Materials, sustainability and building regulations are all areas I have studied closely and are crucial elements in design.

I am currently employed by American fashion brand Michael Kors working as a Senior Visual Merchandising Coordinator in the London office. I work daily with InDesign and Photoshop and am technically skilled in multiple other design programmes such as AutoCAD and SketchUp. Working with CAD and SketchUp is what brings me the most joy, particularly in creating 3D rendered visuals. I work very well independently as well as within a team, and take great pride in team collaboration that drives results.
