Design Assistant

Olivia Healy-Mirkovich

Illustrator, Concept Artist

My name is Olivia and I am a California-based artist, with a focus in illustration. I received my BA in Studio Art and Art History from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2011. I have worked for several independent game design companies as a concept artist and illustrator, and have been producing digital and traditional illustrations for private clients since 2006. While I can adapt to different styles on an as-needed basis, my usual work takes the form of highly detailed ink and watercolor illustrations. Currently employed as a bookbinder, I am looking for smaller freelance and contract positions.
