About Me

Olga Gogole

Graphic designer and illustrator based in Riga, Latvia.

I’ve painting and drawing all my life since early childhood. I finished Latvian Academy of Art, worked in design and packaging companies, and I have been serving my loyal clients from Latvia, Europe and US from my home studio since 2009.

I paint with watercolors, draw by hand and using pen tablet. I design logos, brochures, books and everything that can be printed.

Photography has always been one of my favorite hobbies. Also a few years ago I started running and growing rare plants.

I speak Russian, Latvian and some professional English. I understand Ukrainian.
