WE’RE A SMALL, HANDS ON TEAM.
In 2012 Oli began as a hobby. 10 years later we're now a small growing team, with everyone playing a vital role.
MEET THE TEAM
PHOEBIE WALTON
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.

MICAH CARSON
Micah came on board in Jan 2020 working as a screen printer. Recently he’s also moved into a design role with Oli, working on hand drawn illustrations for upcoming releases. This has been a great asset to the team as whilst Micah and Oli have similar styles, they do things slightly differently which means they can bounce of each other well.
With a passion for art, fashion and screen printing Micah is an integral part of Oli. In his own time, Micah enjoys rock climbing, the great outdoors and getting back to his home town Denmark.

SARAH - JANE DALLA ROSA
Sars is a story of good timing, starting 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!
