Hayley Lim

Designer

With the background in design, Olga started her career in advertising when she was only 21. For some reason, that makes everyone “wow” as she’s always the youngest in the team (but not the weakest! ;)). Being in love with art since her early ages, she transformed her interest into a creative career that allows her to create beautiful work for the brands and push the limits. Olga is excited about creating meaningful work that changes perception and has a big impact. In 2023, only on the 3rd year of her art direction career, she has been ranked as #1 Art Director at The One Show, having won multiple awards for the Missing Matoaka project, an idea that fights the stereotypes towards Indigenous Women and is set to transform the future, which is a pure answer to why Olga loves advertising. And even beyond the work, Olga’s attitude is something that makes it different. She’s always up for the challenge and excited about every big (and small) opportunity. Not to say she’s been winning the internal appreciation awards on her every first year in every company she worked at.
