MEET THE TEAM

We're a small, hands on team. Starting out in 2012 Oli began as a hobby, and as it developed so has the team behind it with everyone playing a vital role.

OLIVER MCDONALD

Oliver is the founder and co-owner of Oli with his partner Phoebie. These days Oli focuses on the development and the creative aspects of the brand. He works closely with the team to establish and maintain sustainable growth. Oli's core focus revolves around planning. This includes the structuring of releases, development of new collections and implementing systems for the team. Outside of the brand Oli enjoys footy, painting, a few vinos with the boys and being a dad.

PHOEBIE MCDONALD

Phoebie is the co-owner of Oli and within the team she's referred to as the real boss. Since officially working with Oli in 2016 Phoebie has introduced development strategies and taken over the administration of the business. Phoebie handles the logistics and financial side of the brand whilst also dealing with the daily operations of the business. Outside of the brand Phoebie enjoys gardening, coastal drives, keeping fit and being a mum. 

JAMIE SAMPSON

Jamie started working at Oli in January 2018. Over the past 7 years Jamie has filled a number of roles within Oli. Currently he works closely with Oli and Phoebie, managing all staff and operations across both the Warehouse and Northbridge Store. He is particularly good on the chat and completing mundane tasks most people would hate. Outside of work, Jamie enjoys a couple of tasty beers, getting outdoors, digging for records and rewatching his favourite movie, the 2018 AFL Grandfinal.

Sarah - jane dalla rosa

Sez is a story of good timing, started work at Oli in July 2022 after applying for a job as a Screen printer the day before we were about to advertise for it. Meant to be! Sez is super hard working with a keen eye for detail & an infectious laugh. Outside of work Sez loves art, gardening, deep diving through decade old screen printing forums, punk shows and cooking.

LILY DE SARAN

Lily came on board in September of 2023. She began working at Oli in a Screen Printing role, before quickly solidifying herself as a key part of the Production Team. These days, Lily spends her time at work developing and refining all of our cut and sew products as well as packing and dispatching orders. Outside of work, Lily enjoys Park Runs, laughing, pilates and hanging out with Jarvis.

TAHLIA RANDELL

Tahlia came to us as work experience student in 2021. After two years of ongoing placement, being the hard worker she is, Tahlia quickly earned herself an official job at Oli. She is now a key part of our Printing team and is a weapon on the print press. Outside of work Tahlia lives and breathes everything Muay Thai, enjoys keeping fit and spending time with friends and family.

LISSY JENKINS

Lissy began working at Oli in June 2023. Liss has worked a few different roles at Oli and currently spends her time working in both our Northbridge Store and Warehouse. The perfect all rounder, Liss can tackle any job thrown at her. When Liss isn't working, she enjoys going to the beach, pilates, watching AFL and a bottomless brunch with friends.
