Our story

Built for the long term.

The idea for OliveSof came on our eighth day together. We're partners in business and in life, and we're building it to last.

Read our story

An engineer and a designer, building one suite.

Oliver Westwood

Co-founder · Engineering

Oliver is a software engineer who takes apps from the first sketch to the App Store. He runs his own software company, OMWSD, and is CTO of Hundo, a meal-plan marketplace in Dubai, where he is rebuilding its apps and back office from the ground up.

His own apps include Vizi Player, a media player for iPhone and iPad, and LinkACode, which swaps a long server address for a short code. Vantan, a private camera app for iPhone and iPad, is in development.

At OliveSof he leads the engineering behind Olive Design Suite.

Sarah Brown

Co-founder · Design

Sarah is a multidisciplinary creative specialising in graphic design, branding and art direction, with more than six years' experience. For more than four years she has been Art Director of a women's print magazine.

Her work spans brand identities, packaging, campaigns and print, in-house and freelance, for founders and brands including Gunna Drinks, Wildwood, Dim T, Red Hot, Cloud Nine Collective, Paul Isaac Casting and Woman Alive.

At OliveSof she leads design, shaping how Olive Design Suite looks and feels.

The idea for OliveSof came on our eighth day together.

Oliver had spent years building software, Sarah years building brands. Between us we saw the gap: professional creative tools are powerful but hard to learn, and the simple ones run out of depth. Olive Design Suite is our answer to both.

We're partners in business and in life, so OliveSof is built for the long term: one product, done properly, owned equally by the two people building it.
