ABOUT
Hi, I’m Olivia!
I love to design spaces for collective meaning-making around technology, ecology, and wonder. My new initiative Synthetic Wisdom Studio investigates AI’s impact on our psychological, social, and spiritual lives. Ecological, place-based teaching and community-building happens through Chimeras Collective with my collaborator Kyle Barnes.
In the past,
Strategy/Research + Project Management at OXMAN, a biodesign & innovation company spun out of MIT Media Lab. I was Terraformation’s first intern, where I worked all summer in a shipping container-turned-seed bank. Before that, I supported founders at climate / deep tech VC Fifty Years.I graduated in 2022 with a degree in Psychology & Environmental Studies from Harvard, where I founded the first undergrad design club and started a business for student artists to gain experience selling their work.
My creative life,
Once upon a time I painted and made films. Occasionally, I moonlight as an NYC street performer either singing or clowning. You can find me happiest roughhousing with a friend in a muddy field, or cooking up game mechanics for my next immersive theater event. How I try to show up in the world...
I’m easily awed, often by nature and people. I favor motion, in its many forms. I push forward with optimism, play, and kindness. I strive to be grounded - I favor the tactile and tangible. I’m learning to show up more with dark, honest love.
