Olivia Krawczyk on Refusing to Put Herself in a Box

Who says graphic design and social change don't belong in the same sentence? In this episode of Be the Change Podcast, Lily Mott talks with Olivia Krawczyk, founder of OneKind Creative, an award-winning design studio bridging graphic design and social impact, about building a career that feels true to her talents, her passions, and her values. Olivia shares how a school volunteering trip to Uganda turned into years of designing for a period poverty organization, why she believes there's a gap in the industry between charities with in-house design teams and small nonprofits that can't afford design at all, and the surprising, little-known link between digital work and environmental impact, from website carbon footprints to ink choices. She also discusses period poverty in the UK, particularly why it remains a stigmatized and misunderstood issue even today. Her advice for young people who feel like they don't fit the mold for changemaking: don't box yourself in. There's always a way to make a positive impact through your work, whatever industry you're coming from. To get connected with Olivia, find her on Instagram and LinkedIn.
