Olivia Joffrey Creative is a boutique copywriting and illustration agency serving clients worldwide from an old adobe studio in downtown Santa Barbara.

I come to agency work having been my own marketing firm. For a decade I owned an eponymous caftan line that enchanted customers with lyrical storytelling and vintage photography. Generating the creative was my favorite part of the business: I learned how to set a tone that moved merchandise - and moved people emotionally. Soon other brands began asking me to write their campaign copy and illustrate menus and invitations for their events. This is how, in 2021, an accidental agency was born.

I love what I do, and I believe this joy comes across in the work. Through the careful crafting of language and hand-drawn illustrations, Olivia Joffrey Creative offers a thoughtful, tactile approach to advertising, design, events, and visual communication.

In addition to commercial work, I also maintain an art studio practice and pen a weekly illustrated newsletter about coastal California culture called Beachtown Bohemia.
