WHO AM I?
✕ Liv Adams ✕ Human-Centered Designer ✕
I’m a Digital Designer and Solution Engineer at heart, driven by a love of simplicity in both form and function.
My work balances clarity and usability with moments of bold colour to create engaging, purposeful experiences.
With a background spanning Visual Communication Design (Honors), technical visual effects, and information technology, I bring a rare mix of creative intuition and engineering-minded problem solving.
After 7.5 years as a Technical Visual Effects Artist and 8 years in the IT sector, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how complex systems work and how to translate them into intuitive, human-centered designs.
Transitioning from VFX into product-focused design, I’ve built strong technical, organizational, and communication skills, allowing me to collaborate effectively across creative and engineering teams.
My curiosity and need to understand why things work mean I thrive where science, engineering, and education intersect with art and design.
​
These experiences enable me to hit the ground running with a practical, can-do mindset; solving complex technical and creative challenges, improving workflows, and designing scalable, elegant solutions within the creative technology space.
TESTIMONIALS
Rick Earl
Principal Solution Engineer at Elegance Group
"Olivia is the best kind of person you could hope to work with. That's because she always delivers and refuses even a millisecond of complacency. She is her own most vocal critic and combines this with a will of iron, heart of gold, patience of saints, versatility of Victorinox built on a foundation of raw talent."
Peter Hunt
Head of CG at Zoic Studios
"Artistic, technical and organized; Liv is a rare triple threat. She consistently juggles more challenging tasks yet never drops a thing. Valued while she’s there and missed when she’s gone, it’s easy to recommend Liv to any future team."
