Hello, I'm Ian + I'm the founder + Squarespace Expert of olio creative

I started olio creative in 2012, whilst also working as an in-house creative manager at various UK charities. I know what a committee does to a deadline, and how much difference a good website makes to a team with one comms person and zero budget.

Matt joined me in 2017 and does a bit of everything, from brand and design to Squarespace builds. Our cats, Finley and Moss, joined us in 2020 and 2025, and mostly supurrrvise from our desks .

Fourteen years and 200+ sites later, we're still deliberately small. The people you meet on your first call are the people who design and build your site.
