Hi there

About me

No matter what’s happening in life, art and design always see me through even the hardest times. Creativity is like therapy, a safe place to go when you need to immerse and express yourself. I was always into creating art and making stuff as a kid so to be able to share my work with others is a dream come true. What makes it even better is the amazing creative community online and the ability to reach out to people all around the world.

I’m currently based in the UK with my fiancΓ© and our wonderful animals: our Staffordshire Bull Terrier Loki, our cats Salem and Sabrina, and our harlequin bunny Quin. I completed a Master’s degree in Graphic Design at the University of Hertfordshire from 2018-2020 while working full-time and growing my freelance business, so I’m no stranger to long hours and hard work. But I love it!

I also love it when people reach out and let me know what they want to see from my artwork and designs. Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or just come and say hello to me on social media:

Companies featuring my artwork

Who I've Worked With

Paper Culture are a sustainable greeting card company based in the U.S. Their ethos is to protect the planet and with every card that is sold they plant a tree. I designed birth announcement illustrations for them in 2020.

BMV Honey

Blackmore Vale Honey is a small family-run business based in picturesque Dorset, England. They produce delicious honey from their own bee hives which they sell from home in custom-designed jars.

Miss Tiffs

Miss Tiffs is an independent hair salon based in Salisbury, UK. Back in 2017 I designed a logo for them which they use on the main shop signage and their staff uniforms. Rose gold to match the salon's aesthetic!

Brit from The Autumn Plum approached me on Instagram about a logo design for her ceramics business. She wanted a watercolour style logo with a rustic feel, incorporating plums and acorns along with the brand name.

Celtic Reaper

AJ from Celtic Reaper Gaming needed a rebrand for his YouTube and Twitter channels. He asked for a grim reaper and Celtic symbols to go with the typography, in a green and black colour scheme.

I'm an avid gamer and have been playing video games since I was ten years old - the year my parents got me a Nintendo for Christmas (seriously, best Christmas ever!). My platforms of choice are Playstation, Nintendo Switch and PC. I'm a variety gamer who's into many different genres. You can find my gaming ramblings at Jenesque Gaming or my Twitter @JenesqueGaming.

I wrote my first short story when I was 15 and showed it to one of my teachers at school. She liked it and asked if I'd written any more. That was all the encouragement I needed! Years later, I've had a handful of short fiction published in online magazines, and I am always working on new fiction in between illustrating and my shops. My writing can be found at www.jenniferoliverwriter.com.

Reading

Reading as a child and throughout my life has contributed massively to my creative side, and I value books and knowledge more than most things. Thankfully nowadays we have easy access to audiobooks, so even when I'm working and too busy to sit down with a book, I can still listen to them. I love both fiction and non-fiction - depending on my mood.
