In this episode of the Fully Managed Podcast, host Shannon Donnelly sits down with art‑driven creative director Olga Netaeva to explore her journey from early artistic curiosity to leading hybrid design‑and‑concept work at Angry Butterfly. Olga shares how childhood fascination with visuals and memorable ads shaped her path, why mentorship and collaboration matter more than the size of an agency, and how working across cultures influences her creative perspective. She reflects on the value of trying different roles early in a career, embracing both design and art direction, and learning to thrive in nimble, independent environments. This conversation is full of insights for emerging creatives, hybrid thinkers, and anyone navigating the evolving world of advertising and visual storytelling.
