I work where thinking and feeling are inseparable — because that’s how people experience the world, and how art works when it’s honest.
I’m Olivera Mattioni. I work under the name Oli Poppins. My practice moves across books, editorial, illustration, and visual systems, often blending writing, drawing, and design into a single voice.
I work end to end, from concept and writing to illustration and layout. I’m interested in projects where clarity matters more than polish, where intelligence is trusted, and where nothing needs to be over-explained.
I’m interested in how people read. Where they pause. What they recognize before they explain. If the thinking is precise, the feeling follows.
curent work includes The Unfooled™ and the lifelift™ publishing system — long-form, editorial projects built around clarity, space, silence, and attention.
