Olivia Small Email and Phone Number

I’m a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Interior Architecture and a Certificate in Graphic Design. I have a passion for creativity within art and design and aim to explore the plethora of possibilities present in that regard. Combined with the knowledge gained through my design studio courses, my drive for exploration has allowed me to proficiently develop skills in software programs including Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Furthermore, through participation in studio courses, I have gained the experience to continually work alongside fellow design students to evoke inspiration through team collaboration. My involvement in various jobs, volunteer opportunities, and student organizations has also allowed me to develop a mindset motivated through collaboration. Additionally, I pride myself in my organizational skills and being able to productively manage multiple design projects at once while maintaining the ability to effectively meet deadlines. In my design work, I am motivated to uphold standards of accessibility and sustainability. As a designer, I feel a responsibility to create spaces that universally meet the needs of all inhabitants while considering how my work can have an impact on the environment. Additionally, I am interested in the interrelation between design and technology and am able to explore that relationship working in the School of Human Ecology’s Makerspace. This involves assisting fellow students in the usage of a laser cutter, 3D printers, and a plotter. My passions and goals within design expand beyond strictly my areas of focus within Interior Architecture and Graphic Design. I would love to build on the strategies learned in my major by exploring opportunities within Production Design and Exhibition Design as well. I look forward to connecting with fellow designers who share the aim to cultivate creativity!
