Hi, I'm Olga.
Creative director. Word wrangler. Brand consultant.
Allergic to big egos, blah, and BS.
In 10+ years of branding and advertising, my work has picked up awards like the Cannes Grand Prix — but I prefer to measure success in dopamine, not precious metals.
I’m based in New York and open to full-time roles.
If you're feeling HR-ish, you can read my résumé or stalk me on LinkedIn.
Or just say hey.
Obligatory name-drop

WHY
They say you should start with ‘why’.
So I could talk about changing culture.
Or making the world a little better,
one headline at a time.
But come on. Let’s get real.
I'm not gunning for a Nobel Peace Prize.
I’m in this for the dopamine.
I find it down rabbit holes.
It lives in every change of subject:
football to funerals, coffee to cat treats,
whales to whiskey.
In chasing scary big ideas.
Helping them grow legs, wings, or both.
Then releasing them into the wild.
In finally finding the right word.
Turning clusterfucks into clarity.
Helping people and brands do their thing,
by doing mine.
Then diving into the next thing.
Because dopamine.
If you’d like to work with someone like that,
my weirdly wired brain is available for hire.
