About Us

Founded in 2012 by visionary Lisa Young, Olive + Spark is more than a design studio — it is a creative playground. Lisa, our founder and CEO, brings over three decades of graphic design mastery, infusing warmth and expertise into every project we undertake.

From the beginning, we have been on a creative adventure, teaming up with a diverse range of clients including big corporations, public-sector agencies, and small business enterprises. Our commitment to delivering top-notch results has been the secret behind our growth and positive reputation.

Today, we’re about unleashing creativity in every way. From crafting brands that tell stories to designing stunning graphics that catch the eye. We have also dipped our toes into the digital world where we make websites as stylish as they are functional. Plus, in 2019 Olive + Spark formed an alliance with AttaGirl Marketing to bring our clients a comprehensive suite of marketing services aimed at igniting your brand’s potential and elevating new heights.

Our journey since 2012 is a testament to our passion for creative excellence and our unwavering commitment to making a difference in the creative industry. To explore the full spectrum of our creative offerings, visit our services section or simply give us a call.
