After completing her degree in textile design at the The University of Georgia, Olivia moved to Jaipur, India to pursue her interest in the history and creation of textiles to gain a better understanding of the artisan techniques and processes behind the work. Working primarily with women block print and embroidery artisans, Olivia designed prints and finished pieces using traditional techniques and production methods. Designing and living alongside artisans who ranged from highly experienced "masterji's" to first generation printers and weavers, Olivia built life long relationships through a shared passion for textiles and fibers.

Olivia created Maison Venu in 2022 out of her apartment in New York City. Her mission is to tell a story of tradition, craft and fiber through high quality materials, thoughtful details, and colorful, artful patterns. For Olivia, Maison Venu is much more than a brand; it allows her to pursue a passion for learning from artisans who are the foundation of the design industry and feeds her constant curiosity and adoration for where her career began.
