meet Olivia
Olivia Kirk is a creator of transformative experiences, where human-centred design meets spiritual and regenerative practices. As founder of The Woven, she believes that our inner world shapes the outer reality we create.
Her mission is to empower designers, innovators and change-makers to embrace a holistic, regenerative approach to decision-making—one that honours both personal wellbeing and the ecosystems we live within.
the journey so far
With a decade of experience in Strategic Design and Research, Olivia has worked across diverse industries, from health and financial services to education and startups. Specialising in Human-Centred Design, Regenerative Systems, and Complex Social Systems, she uses deep human insights to craft regenerative solutions that enhance customer experiences while supporting the natural systems that sustain us.
Driven by a profound curiosity about human behaviour, Olivia approaches every project through a holistic, systemic lens. Her work not only addresses immediate needs but fosters long-term sustainability for both people and the planet. By integrating regenerative design principles into her practice, she places the wellbeing of all living systems at the core of her work.
In 2022, Olivia co-founded HUM Studio, a space dedicated to yoga, movement, and holistic wellbeing. As a certified yoga and meditation teacher, she leads others in practices that connect mind, body, and spirit. Her passion for movement extends to dance, where rhythm and flow unlock new realms of self-expression.
Whether facilitating co-design workshops for organisations or leading embodiment retreats, Olivia believes true creativity is born from connection—to ourselves, each other, and the world around us. At The Woven, she blends strategic insight with intuition, guiding individuals and teams to tap into their fullest potential and craft futures that inspire.

nice words from a 1:1 client
“Olivia was able to guide me into taking my ideas from ruminating thoughts into tangible creations. With her deep understanding of the flow of nature, she facilitates using different tools and practices which not only supported my creative expression, but my nervous system too. My time with her allowed me to move away from hustle culture and into gentle, calm creative expression. I now have the confidence within myself to create the ideas I have from a grounded space.”
nice words from a project
“Apart from being a brilliant researcher and designer, Olivia is the most positive person I know. She brings a level of enthusiasm and happiness that infects the whole team. One of the values we have is to 'play on the edge' - and Olivia embodied this more than anyone else. She'll eagerly try new techniques and happily exists outside most people's comfort zones. This is the quality of a great designer. If you hire Olivia, you'll not only have a fantastic, organised and edgy practitioner, you'll also have a better, more engaged and productive team.”
