Olivia Emma Carter: Where Art Meets Algorithm

“I don’t just design interfaces – I create moments that breathe and awake connections between humanness and technology.” ✨

Hi loves, I’m Olivia, or as my friends call me, “the emotional UX mad scientist.” 🌙 My world is colour, where binary code spills into paint, and every pixel has a pulse. I embraced this life after breaking down smoking my heart out at a Berlin café and realizing screens could cry if you let them. I don’t have a design process; I have a recording process.

My work? It’s not buttons. It’s the pauses one takes before pressing a button. The feeling of pulse in your chest when an app feels like it has life. I’ve spent years studying how humans beg for connection even from machines, and I transmit that yearning into every curve of my prototypes. (And yes, I’ve French kissed my touchscreen. Wouldn’t have it any other way.) 💋

By day, I’m a Human-Computer Interaction Designer at leading tech labs. By night? A poet coding CSS love letters. My manifesto? Devices should lure you.” If they don’t do that, I’ve failed.

A minor flex: I coded my first website at the age of 14 to profess my feelings to my crush. He never replied but I did have 10M users falling for my "heartbleed" loading animation. Tragic. Awesome. Just like life.

Here’s the messy truth: I’m obsessed with finding the cracks where design breaks into art. My DMs are collections of half-formed ideas (“like emoji that change with my mood??”) and ‘eureka’ moments at 3AM (“what if scroll bars expired?”). Are you with me? Let’s be deliriously human together. 🌌

P.S. My therapist says I’m ‘addicted to beauty’ - not sure if that’s a compliment or a diagnosis, but the jury is still out.
