Brand Strategist and Wix Studio Expert
We partner with our clients to craft compelling brand narratives and design websites that highlight their unique character.
BASED IN AUSTRALIA. WORKING GLOBALLY
I’m an award-winning brand strategist, creative director and Wix Studio designer based in Brisbane, Australia. I founded my studio in 2012, originally specialising in Wix web design. But over the years, one thing became increasingly clear: a great website can’t compensate for an unclear brand.
​
That shifted the way I work. Brand strategy became the starting point — defining the story, positioning and creative direction before translating it into identity and digital experience.
​
Today, Olya Black has evolved from Wix Pro Studio into a boutique creative agency. We’ve stayed intentionally small because we believe great creative work benefits from fewer layers. It keeps us close to our clients, close to the work and close to the original idea — with the attention and involvement that larger agency structures can struggle to maintain.
We are always in competition with ourselves, constantly striving to outperform yesterday.
At Olya Black Studio, we have adopted a single-concept approach to design. We focus on crafting one standout concept for branding and websites. This approach stems from a belief that focus breeds excellence. By dedicating our full attention to a single concept, my team and I pour all our creativity, skills, and energy into crafting a solution that authentically embodies each brand's essence.
