About Caemeterium
The Face Behind the Name
Behind the curtain of Caemeterium, I'm Olivia! An Illustrator and UX Designer born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. As an illustrator who started from a love of drawing as a small child, I now illustrate as a freelance artist, with commission work sporadically. In formal education I found a love for UX Design, and care deeply about creating accessible and community focused designs.
Creativity is an integral part of my life, professionally and personally. Whether I'm creating props for cosplays or posting fanart online, being creative defines my very being. I'm extremely community driven – and believe that Graphic Design and UX Design impact communities heavily. Making art accessible is a huge part of my personal agenda.
