Olivia McNeilis

Writer and Content Designer

United Kingdom

Hi, I’m Olivia. I’m a writer, content designer, and all-round creative. In short, you could call me a storyteller.

I have a background in visual communications and content marketing across the arts, recruitment, and property industries in both the public and private sector. I studied visual anthropology at Goldsmiths, English literature and creative writing at the University of Warwick, and graphic design at Central Saint Martins.

I split my time between the Somerset Levels, where I grew up, and London, which I call home. You’ll find me rambling with a pastry in hand and dog in tow.

How do you bring publications to life in the digital age? For Alba 2023, Savills’ annual Scottish property guide, I led the transition from print to digital—managing the full production process, from arranging interviews to editing the final publication. Designed by Sarah McCallum, this interactive edition embraced digital storytelling, setting the format for future releases.
