Our Brand Values
-
Communication
We pride ourselves on constant communication and clear expectations. We would rather over-communicate than under-communicate.

Balance
Your job isn’t your life. Family comes first. If you need to reschedule, postpone, or have space due to mental health, we’re here for that.
-
Kindness
We approach every project with kindness and empathy, and ask for it in return. We understand everyone is at different levels of tech-savvy and we aim to meet you where you are.
-
Sustainability
We’ll recommend the best, sustainable options if you choose to print or get brand swag. We also strive to work with carbon neutral platforms.
The Bold Team
Bold August Design Studio is owned, operated, and designed by Olivia August, and she will be your main point of contact on your project. She is also the lead designer and every design, Canva template, and brand goes through her.
We utilize contractors and freelancers to enhance our offerings and create a flexible team for all of our projects, so you might see other email addresses on email threads and your accounts.
Olivia Hutto August
Owner, Lead Designer
Design is quite literally my passion. I like to joke that in the event of an apocalypse, do not try to find me unless you want something saved as a PDF. I went to school for design, have been designing for 10+ years, and I basically dream in fonts and CMYK and color palettes!
Fun facts about me:
I’m an INFJ. A Virgo. A
I have a degree in graphic design!
I live in Atlanta with my two cats, Little Cat and Fat Cat, and on weekends you can catch me walking the Beltline probably complaining about how hot it is in Atlanta.

The two may or may not have more podcast ideas in the works...
