I bring brands and people closer through the art of live illustration.

I am Olya. What I love most is observing and recording life through sketching, whether it is people, a quiet breakfast scene, or the character of old architecture, making note of all the small details that give them soul.

My work ranges from live event illustration and reportage to bespoke prints and editorial collaborations in lifestyle and hospitality. Living between London and Paris, I feel lucky to wander their streets and sketch what I see, each time rediscovering my surroundings and myself.

If you’d like to chat about your event or project, feel free to drop me a line I’d love to hear from you.
