Lead Architectural Drafting & Designer.
Alicia Olschewski is the proud owner of Live 2 Design, based on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, since 2019.
With over a decade of experience in the industry, her passion and dedication for design is always growing!
She grew up watching family members build and renovate their own homes. A normal Saturday often consisted of either passing tools to her Father while he worked on his latest project, hanging out at her Oma and Opa's custom drapery shop, wood working with her Grandfather in his woodshop, or rearranging her (or her siblings and cousins) bedrooms.
Following her passions, her career began in Downtown Halifax in 2012 doing Interior Decorating, quickly realizing she wanted to grow and utilize her technical skills too. Alicia took a year off to have her baby, and then jumped into the Architectural Drafting course at NSCC, while working for a local project desk & paint department. Once graduating in 2015 with her diploma, she worked in the field as a project coordinator and lead designer until 2019, when she founded Live 2 Design Ltd.
Alicia loves working with her clients and hearing their goals to ultimately create their new space while keeping budget and timelines in mind. As equally passionate about working with clients and creating beautiful architectural homes, she is just as excited and driven for quality detailed construction drawings. Alicia is always learning and challenging herself to be better.
